The Calcutta Law Journal Short Notes of Cases Articles and Other Matters - February 16 1919

His last letter to the Chairman of the Syndicate of the Calcutta University (which is given below) smacks of the very same spirit which breathed in the letter of William Ewart Gladstone to the University of Oxford when the shadow of death had begun to hover round the aged Statesman. [...] In 1866 at the age of 22 he was enrolled as a Vakil of the High Court but having shortly been offered the appointment of the Law Lecturer in the Berhampur College with liberty to practice as a pleader in the Local Courts he joined the Berhampur Bar. [...] True to his determination from the day of his retirement from the Bench of this Court to the date of his last illriess in October 19r8 he was always busy with the affairs of the Calcutta University. [...] As a Judge of this Court he was respected by every one—by the litigants of this Court by the members of the Bar by the members of the Vakil Bar and by 7;us. [...] He was a meber of the Bengal Legislative Council and served as the VicChancellor of the University and in these capacities and in many others he employed his whole power and influence for the public good and in the interest of the community.
