SOUTHERN BANNER. MARCH 26, 1878 7 Hold Attempt at Barratry. PI.OT TO STEAL A TES8KI, AND BKB CAKCiO— IIOTT IT WAS DISCOVERED. Baltimore, March 13.—One of the most remarkable instances of alleged barratry thatbaabeen brought to light here in a wood many years wa« discovered yesterday, a British brigantine and her whole cargo of coffee being represented to have been “ appropriated ” by a passenger, in collusion with her Captain and crew, and brought here to be sold. The British brigatine Alexis, Cap^ tain George Williams, reached Balti more on March 7, from Porto Cabello, Venezuela, with 4,377 bags coffee, weighing 508,535 pounds, and 822 hides. J. F. Kinncar, an English* man about thirty-five years old, of good address, with his colored serv ant, came as passengeis. Kinncar represented that he owned the cargo, and said that he had been traveling in South America for his health. He said he bought the cargo for a private venture, aud believing the United States offered a belter market than could be found iu Europe, he con cluded to come to Hampton Roads in search of purchasers. Before ordering the. vessel to Bal timore he came here from Hampton Roads, and for a day or two nego» tiated with coffee buyers, at length, arranging with Messrs. Eugene Levering Co., Commerce street, eoflee importers and jobbers, to buy the cargo from him or sell it for him. When the brigantine reached port she entered at the custom house, but her papers were in some > respects irregular. The manifest, on a rough' looking piece of paper, read that the cargo was shipped by Rivas A Velas ques, Porto Cabello, and was con signed to J. F. Kinnear, and that she left Porto Cabello, January 31. The coffee and hides were stored in a warehouse on Falls Point, and the vessel went to Canton for ballast. In the meantime doubts as to the regularity of her papers were not allayed. Kinnear had | asked the Messrs. Levering to advance 86°,000 cash on the cargo, but the firm held the request under advisement. It was found that no brig named Alexis was in any maritime record, and a dispatch to the Canadian Minister of Marine Affairs elicited the reply that Hopewell, !Nava Scotia, from which the papers said the Alexis hailed, was not a port of register. This confirmed the suspicion that there was something wrong, and at tention was at once given the matter by the British Consul, Collector Thomas and others, with a view of Kinnear stopped at a leading hotel here, and iu bis baste to get away he left his colored servant behind, and the latter has fallen into the hands of the police. He says be lias been the body servant of Kinnear for two years. The British Consul yesterday placed a watchman in custody of the brig, and she is held to await identi fication. Messrs Levering, it is understood, advanced Kinnear one thousand dollars, but refused to buy the cargo or sell it on commission until lie had identified himself as the owner. As the affair lias turned out the owners of the cargo and also of the vessel will not be large losers, as both are held intact. MAROH 1878.
