Surname  Mukerji    
First Name(s)  Anukul Chandra    
Birth Year  1829    
Death Year  1871    
Entry  Born 1829 : educated at the Hindu College : Senior Scholar : Nazir under the Magistrate of Howrah : passed the Law Examination, 1855, and became Pleader of the Sadr Court : Fellow of the Calcutta University, and Junior Government Pleader, 1868 : Senior in 1870 : and Member of the Bengal Legislative Council : Puisne Judge of the High Court, Calcutta, 1870 : died Aug. 17, 1871. He is best remembered by the Memoir, dated June 1, 1873, of his life written by Mohindranath Mukerji, and dedicated to the Chief Justice of the day. It was a revelation of the capabilities of a half-educated Bengali author. Its first few lines will give some idea of the style :� Let me hold my Penna after a few months, to write the memoir of the individual above named : but quid agis ? if any one put me such a query, I will be utterly thrown into a great jeopardy and hurley-burley, and say�a fool of myself !
