Sir Rash Behari Ghosh had a wonderful memory. They say that, if you confronted him with any witness whom he had cross-examined, it might be twenty years before, in a minute or two he "would tell you the man’s name, the name of his native village, the case he appeared in, on what side, and what questions in cross-examination he himself had put to him. Incredible? Truth-speaking men have told me it verily was so. I believed them.
