Constantine James Negreponte was a cotton broker in the firm Wm. Phythian Lees and Co., Liverpool, in partnership with William Phythian Lees, Lysander Stephen Galatti (London Gazette 2 Jul 1869).

The partnership of C. and N. Negroponte, Liverpool, merchants, was dissolved in 1865 (Liverpool Mercury 30 Nov 1865). Argenti records no such 'N' Negroponte.

He advertized to rent a house (Liverpool Mercury 9 Jun 1868) and sell houses and property in Oakhill Park, Broad Green, Liverpool, England, in 1868 (Liverpool Mercury 30 Jun 1868).

He participated in the Liverpool and Manchester Agricultural Show, Sep 1871, and showed in competition his Scotch terriers which placed 'extra' (Liverpool Mercury 7 Sep 1871). He was on the local committee of the Royal Manchester, Liverpool and North Lancashire Agricultural Society (LLiverpool Mercury 5 Sep 1883).

C.J. Negreponte signed a letter of protest (against arbitrary Italian bureaucracy) that appeared in The Times, 9 Jul 1883, pg. 10. He was among 120 passengers on the P. and O. steamer Tanjore, at the quarantine station, eight miles off Venice, 4 Jul 1883, because cholera had broken out at Damietta, another Egyptian port city. They had departed Alexandria 26 Jun 1883 and were being quarantined, in successive five-day sentences, because disease had been found elsewhere in Egypt.

See his namesake. It is unclear who is who.

C.G. [sic, perhaps a typo] Negroponte was a supper and refreshment steward at the grand fancy dress ball given at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall by S. Georgala, of the frimof B. Georgala and Co., Greek general merchants (Liverpool Mercury, 30 Dec 1871).

(2) aged 32, merchant, lodged at 163 Upper Parliament Street [digital record difficult to decipher; scanner says middle initial 'P' and born USA]. Most probably, this man is the former or neither.

Notes:

Menelaus Negroponte was the Constantinople merchant who created an eponymous scandal in Britain. M.J. Negroponte had corresponded with William Ewert Gladstone in 1877, when the latter was in opposition, in between stints as four-time prime minister. During what became known as "The Negroponte Affair" Gladstone was accused of fomenting Greeks living under Ottoman rule into sedition and the affair dragged on into a libel case against the press in which Gladstone testified. Except for his writing letters to Gladstone and to The Times of London (to explain, in fact to further complicate), Negroponte was not otherwise involved; but he had effectively created a political hellstorm, consciously or not. He, like Gladstone, was misrepresented and demonized in the press. Briefly covered in the French press: Le XIXe siècle (Paris), 2 Feb 1878, p. 1; Le Temps [Paris], 28 Aug 1877, p. 3; 26 Sep 1877; 29 Mar 1881, p. 3; Journal des débats politiques et littéraires, 26 Sep 1877;


Supporting Gladstone and treating Negroponte as an unfortunate victim, one newspaper opined: "As for M. Menelaus Negroponte, who has been rendered very miserable by the fuss which has been made about the letter, all who know him are amazed and amused that he should for the moment be regarded as a conspirator. He is a comfortable and rather 'crummy' corn merchant, of conservative tendencies, and with a correct taste in cereals." (Liverpool Mercury 6 Jun 1879).

Mr. Negroponte, a Constantinople merchant, was aboard the Rethymo when it sank on the Bosphorus (The Times [London], 31 Dec 1874). He was rescued and his £T 4,200 was retrieved.

30 Aug 1878: Menelaos I. Negroponte, 40, born Chios, married, merchant, swore allegiance to the Greek government at the town hall, Ermoupolis.
