Kelson, tried at the Bristol Assizes, shortly before- his sudden death, thus defined the character of a gentleman : —“ The evidence proved that the defendant, while in tlic theatre, had said to the plaintiff, ‘Do not speak to me ; I am a gentleman, and you arc a tradesman.’ ‘ Gentleman said the learned judge, ‘is a term which does not apply to any station, but to the mind and feelings in every station.
