SMUGGLED TOBACCO.
Experience OF "a British sailor with
British Customs Officials.

More than a month since the cable in
formed Boston HcrdH readers that the
British steamer Mareca, bound from
Antwerp to this port, had been obliged
TO put into Queenstown for fresh coal
the coal on board being so poor that
it could not be used. At the same
time it was stated that the chief
officer of the steamer, Mr.. Mum
/ ford, had been arrested and fined
ESQ for having contraband tobacco
on board, evidently with the intention
to smuggle it ashore in England. The
Mareca has been engaged IN the trade
between Antwerp, Boston and Baltimore
for long time, and Mr.. Munford has
become well known to the business men
of Boston, and his arrest for smuggling
caused great surprise here. Nothing
more was heard of the case here until
the arrival OF the steamer, after tedious
passage, at this port, when an investiga-
ton shows how British customs officials,
anxious to retain their petty holdings,
made i'll this case, at least, mountain
out OF a mOle-hill, and subjected one of
their own people to unwarranted indigni-
ties.
The cause of the arrest of Mr. Num-
ford is explained by officers of the ship
as follows For years the steamer has
been engaged In transporting from Bal
tlmore to Antwerp casks of unmanufac-
tured tobacco. After discharging this
and the rest of the cargo on the other
side the ships hold was always swept,
and among the sweepings was quantity
of powdered tobacco and few leaves
which had worked out OF the casks.
On the last voyage the boatswain Sc
cured three small bags of this refuse,
and received permission from Mr.. Mum
ford to place them in lockers-not
locked-on the upper deck. The steamer
sailed from Antwerp for Boston, but, the
coal being very bad, it was decided that
il was necessary to make Queenstown,
discharge the old and ship new coal.
The steamer reached Queenstown, and
coal-hghters at once came alongside.
With the lighters came the English Gus
toms authorities, and all known dutiable
goods were declared. In the hurry of
receiving and discharging coal the chief
officer forgot the three bags OF refuse
tobacco in the locker, and, upon search
being made, they were found. At once
a charge Of smuggling was made |
against Mr.. Mumford. He was
arrested, tried, convicted, fined ECO,
and sentenced 10 Imprisonment sat
the Queens pleasure" Unable TO pay
the fine he was hurried TO Cork prison
and locked up. Finding it impossible to
get his fine RENTED, although it was
acknowledged that the charge was non
sensical and trumped-up by the custom
for their own glory, his friends
on board the ship clipped in a months
wages each and Mr. Mumford was libe-
rated and the ship enabled TO re-
sumo her trip. Those who contributed
