SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

THE LATE MEETING OF THE JOCKEY CLUB.
The business transacted at the general meeting of the
Jockey Club, held at Newmarket, on Wednesday, the 10th
October, is thus announced in the last official Calendar :
Admiral Rous having communicated to the meeting that
his Grace the Duke of Beaufort had resigned the office of
steward in consequence of ill-health, and that the Earl of
'Coventry had been appointed to succeed him, the appoint-
ment was unanimously confirmed.
The Earl of Westmoreland was elected a member of the
Jockey Club.

The Keeper of the Match Book informed the meeting
that he had been instructed by Lord Glasgow to withdraw,
for the present, the resolutions respecting two year olds, of
which his lordship had given notice, and that fresh notice
would be given before they were brought forward.
The resolutions on the use of fictitious names, of which
notice had been given by Sir Joseph Hawley and Mr. Gre-
vine, were then brought forward, and, after some discussion,
it was unanimously resolved :

" That every person who wishes not to engage his horses
in his own name must adopt some one name, which must be
registered at Messrs. Weatherby's office, and that he cannot
enter in any other until the change is duly notified to them,
and the change shall be noticed in the first Sheet Calendar
published after the receipt of such notification by Messrs.
Weatherby.
" A fee of 1 soy. is to be paid on each registration, which
shall be carried to the credit of the Bentinek Benevolent
Fund."

The proposal to make a distinction in the amount of
heath tax paid for the horses trained permanently at New-
market, and those-brought there to run, was negatived on ir
division.

The consideration of Lord Derby's resolutions as to the
engagement of jockeys was deferred, in consequence of his
lordship's absence.
Admiral Rous then brought forward, according to notice,
the case of Mr. E. Hibburd, and it was unanimously re-
solved—

" That Mr. Edward Hibburd, late starter at Newmarket,
and clerk of the course at Ascot, be warned off Newmarket
Heath."

BETTING AT MANCHESTER—YESTERDAY.
The meeting at Lewes was the principal business of to-
day. The Liverpool Cup had no attention paid to it
whatever. Some changes occurred on the Cambridgeshire.
Dulcibella seems stationary at 5 to 1 (offered), but there
were offers to take 6to 1. Stampedo, at 14 to 1, and Sir
William, at 22 to 1, were each fairly supported, while Roesia,
who was yesterday at 40 to 1, advanced to 25 to 1 (taken).
There was but little business done, and hardly anything
touched upon beside those mentioned above.

THE HOP-GROWERS.-POSTPONE-
MENT OF DUTY.

MAIDSTONE, WEDNESDAY.
A meeting of the hop-planters of Kent was held
in the Corn-Exchange to-day, in order to obtain a

postponement of the November moiety of the hop-
duty of 1859. The Michaelmas stock fair being
held to-day, and the weather being exceedingly
fine, not only for the present, but for any year,
there was an unusually large attendance of farmers
in the town, and there was an overflow into the ex-
change of not less than 300 in number.

Punnett, of Charl Sutton, farmer and hop-
grower, and chairman of the Hop Joint-Stock Com-
pany, was called to the chair, and amongst those
present were Mr. C. Wykenham 'Martin, of Leeds
Castle, and Mr. James Whatman, of Vinten's-park,
ex-M.P.'s for West Kent, and Colonel Scott, late
M.P. for Maidstone.

The CHAIRMAN said that although he had atten-
ded many meetings on the subject of the hop duty,
he did not know that ever he had attended one in
which the cloud was heavier over the prospects of
the hop-growers. (Hear.) With the exception of
perhaps half-a-dozen parishes, part of Cran brook,
Horsemorden, Brenchley, Frittenden, Staplehurst,
and a part of Monden, which might almost be
termed oases in the desert, there had scarcely ever
been known so total a failure of the hop growth as
in the present year. This came at a time, too, in
which there was a very, very heavy instalment of
the duty of 1859 to pay, and the difficulty
that stared them in the face was, how, out of
the ordinarf: resources of their trade, such a
heavy payment was to be met. He believed that
one ane and all of them would say that it would be
met with the greatest inconvenience, and that with
the great majority the difficulty would be where
the money was to come from. This year, after a
very short crop of hops, many with none at all, or
next to none, they could not go to the usual sources
of accommodation, because they had nothing to
offer by way of security. Many were accustomed
to go into the Borough for assistance to pay the
November duty. The men there knew there was
something coming, and there was thus no difficulty.
This year that class of men, generally so useful to
the hop-growers, would feel inclined to button up
their pockets and to say, " Things look bad; I
can't help you much ; I will do a little, but I can't
do all you wish." Then how were the hop-growers
to get on P (Hear, hear.) The crops of corn and
other produce, out of which sometimes these duties
were paid; were not available this year. What
with the backwardness of the season and the bad
quality of the crops, the crops could not be placed
in the market except at a serious depreciation ;
that placed them in a fix. He thought, then, they
were entitled to the best consideration of the Lords
of the Treasury, and the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer as their mouthpiece. Doubtless there were
some persons who by hook or by crook would be
able to pay the duty, but generally speaking the
hop-growers were not in a position to stump-up at
the call of the Treasury in November. (Hear, hear.)
Mr: WYKEHAM MARTIN remarked that, seeing
the course which the Chancellor of the Exchequer
had taken in hastening the collection of taxes, he
was not sanguine in his expectations of success
attending their efforts to obtain postponemont, and
he therefore recommended the hop-growers to be
prepared with some other alternative proposition.
He then moved the first resolution :—" Owing to
the almost total blight in the hops, coupled with the
unprecedented wet and late harvest, the hop-growers
are unable even to thrash their own corn, and are
quite unable to meet the half-year's duties of 1859,
due in November next. This meeting therefore
earnestly requests the Chancellor of the Exchequer
to grant a postponement of the payment of the
duty until November, 1861; and the planters hereby
pledge themselves to pay the 1860 duty when the
same is due."

With the exception of two or three hands in a
meeting which the chairman stated contained about
300 persons, the resolution was carried unanimously.
Mr. JAMES WHATMAN moved that a memorial
embodying the above resolution be signed by every
hop-grower in Kent, and that the same be circulated
in every parish for that purpose.
The resolution was carried ung,..imottely, as was
also another for the appointment of a committee to
carry out the objects of the meeting.

THE _EXTRAORDINARY CLERICAL

PROSECUTION IN NORFOLK.

NORWICH, WEDNESDAY.

At the Norfolk Quarter Sessions to-day two ap-
peals arisinc,. ' out of the singular clerical prosecution
at Horsey, Norfolk, were disposed of. The first
case called on was Joseph Fish, appellant, and the
Rev. Edward Pote Neale, respondent.
Mr. Evans appeared for the appellant, and Mr.
Bulwer represented the respondent.
Mr. Evans said all that was left for him to do in
the first instance was to show that his client had
entered into the necessary recognisances. The act
of parliament did not require notice of appeal to be
given, and it would now be for his learned friend
(Mr. Bulwer) to support the conviction.
Mr. Bulwer said he was happy to be able to in-
form the court that his client, Mr. Neale, acting
from the best possible motives, and in accordance
with sentiments which he had himself expressed—
for the sake of peace also in his parish—was ready
to relieve the court from further consideration of
the case. It was necessary to refer particularly to
the circumstances, of which the court was probably
aware through the medium of the public press and
the discussions which the case had excited, for it
had unfortunately been a matter of considerable
discussion in the county. He might say, however,
on the part of Mr. Neale, that from the first that
gentleman was only anxious to assert what he con-
ceived to be the law, viz., that he only had authority
and jurisdiction ;over his own church and
churchyard, and that it was not right, but contrary
to law, for any person whatever—whether he was
a member of the Church of England or of any other
religious denomination—to perform any rite, ser-
vice, or ceremonial. Still, Mr. Neale, anxious for
the peace and quiet of his parish, for the interests of
the church of which those who were opposed to him
on some points professed in common with him, wished
that the matter should now be at an end ; and in
this spirit and with these feelings he was ready to
consent to the conviction being quashed. He trusted,
however, without seeking for any assurance on the
subject on the part of the appellants, that such
proceedings would not occur again, and that their
good feeling and sense of what was right and
proper would when once they knew that they had
acted illegally in what they had done prevent such
occurrences being repeated. Mr. Neale had no
other wish than that the peace and harmony which
had hitherto existed in his parish should continue,
and he (Mr. Bulwer) had therefore great pleasure
in assenting to the conviction being quashed.
Mr. Evans said on the part of his client he was
quite ready to admit the law as laid down by his
learned friend. He admitted that no unauthorised
person had a right to perform any burial service
against the will of the parish clergyman ever any
grave, whether of a baptised or unbaptised person.
He had no instructions to maintain any other view
of the law, for his client never pretended, and did
not pretend now, to any such right. So far from
it, understanding that a burial service in the
churchyard would be objected to by Mr. Neale, his
client and his friend performed what they considered
a burial service in a decent and proper manner in a
road in front of the churchyard. They offered up
such prayers as they thought decent, pious, and
proper in the road ; although, having performed a
service to which no man on earth could make any
objection, they certainly did in coming into the
churchyard sing a hymn which he believed would
be admitted to be perfectly decent and unobjec-
tionable. His client and his friends were anxious,
however, to be relieved from the imputation that
by acting as they had done they were guilty of
indecent behaviour within the terms of the penal act
of Parliament under which the proceedings before
the magistrates were taken ; and he should have
been prepared if the case had gone on to have main-
tained that his clients were perfectly innocent of
any indecorous or improper proCeeding. within 1h
churchyard. They were quite as anxious as Mr.
to
Neale that peace and harmony should be rtesttohreed
the parish. He had his own opinion as
dis-
cretion of the proceedings, but he had nolintoefnartiofrnotmo

The Chairman—Then the conviction is gnashed.
Mr. Evans—We will say nothing about the costs
on either side; it is not a matter of triumph.
Mr. Bulwer having assented also to the conviction
being quashed as against Ann Noekolds, the pro-
ceedings terminated.
