District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and?
condemnation of 492 boxes of oranges, remaining unsold in the original un??
broken packages at Chicago, 111., alleging that the article had been shipped by?
the California Fruit Growers Exchange, from Crown Jewel, Calif., August 10,?
1922, and transported from the State of California into the State of Illinois,?
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. A portion?
of the article was labeled in part: "El Toro Brand." The remainder of the?
said article was labeled in part: "'Cincinnatus Brand."

mitted the allegations of the libel and consented to the entry of a decree,?
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by?
the court that the product be released to the said claimant upon payment of?
the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the sum of $1,000,?
in* conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that it be sorted?
under the supervision of this department, the bad portion destroyed and the?
good portion delivered to the said claimant.
