On October 14, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York filed a libel against 12 boxes, each containing approximately 66 pounds, 
of butter at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped on or 
about September 30, 1941, by Highlanding Creamery, Goodrich, Minn.; and 
charging that it was adulterated in that a product containing less than 80 per- 
cent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter. The article was 
labeled in part: "Butter Distributed by Hunter Walton & Co. * * * New 
York."
On October 24, 1941, Highlanding Creamery, claimant, having admitted the
