    Appeal from Special Term, New York County.
    Action by Edward A. Weeks and others against Decatur M. Sawyer and another. From an order denying motion for issuance of commission for examination of nonresident witness upon written interrogatories, defendants appeal.
    Order reversed, and motion granted.
    Argued before CLARICE, P. J., and LAUGHLIN, SCOTT, SMITH, and DAVIS, JJ.
    Arthur C. Rounds, of New York City, for appellants.
    Frederick M. Czaki, of New York City, for respondents.
   PER CURIAM.

The order appealed from is reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements, and the motion for a commission to take the testimony of the defendant Blake on written interrogatories and cross interrogatories granted, the commission to issue to Bryan W. Tichenor, referred to in the moving papers, and, sufficient cause therefor appearing, no one other than the commissioner and the witness is to be present at the examination; but, in the event that it shall appear by the return to the commission that the answers of the witness render it necessary or proper that plaintiffs should have a further examination, they shall be at liberty to apply for a supplemental commission, either on oral or written interrogatories, as may then seem proper. Settle order on notice.
