GENTLEMAN AND ESQUIRE.
A manufacturer may bo described as a " gentleman," but not an "esquire." That important point has been settled by Colonel Morlcy, a county magistrate of Derby. A list of persons liable to servo on juries was placed before him last week, and ho reprimanded the overseers for describing as " esquires" those who were not. A Derby manufacturer was so described ; and Colonel Morley ordered the " esquire" to be changed to "gentleman." A Mr. John Evans was ordered to bo described as "esquire," and it was explained that he was entitled to that distinction aB having been a captain in the army.
