News Item

Hon. Samuel Nelson

Judge Nelson is one of the justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, and judge of the Circuit Court of the southern district of New York, embracing the counties of Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Kings, New York, Orange, Putnam, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk, Ulster and Westchester.  He is a large, well formed, noble looking man, probably bordering on sixty years of age.  His countenance has a peculiarly pleasant beaming expression, and in his manners he is a model of courtliness and kindness.  He has rendered some of the ablest decisions, especially in patent cases, ever promulgated by an American court. A man of remarkable patience and a judge of great learning and experience, he exhibits a noticeable facility in trial of intricate causes.  Where many other judges become seriously mystified with the delicate and profound questions of law which arise, he is quick and clear regarding every point.  Scratching his chin with his spectacles, he listens to the elaborate arguments of counsel and hears the bombardment of their authorities, apparently from every known book and without hesitation or misapprehension, grasps the whole subject. When some ancient case is cited with triumphant air, by the lawyer, as if he had found something which would be new to the court and his opponents, there is a perceptible twinkle in tne eye of the judge, showing that he is likewise familiar with new discovered lore.  Trixis and arguments, before him proceed with marked decorum. He has that happy faculty of impressing everyone with his own sense of propriety and the most excitable and ungovernable members of the bar are ashamed to transgress in the presence of such polished and gentlemanly dignity.
