The Lamson Company, Respondent, v. Butler & Maclaren, Inc., and Others, Appellants.
    Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, enfered in the New York county clerk’s office on the 8th day of October, 1914, denying the defendants’ motion to vacate an order for the examination of the defendants before trial and directing the production of books and papers.
   Per Curiam:

The provision requiring the production of the books and papers seems to be unnecessary and would entail a great hardship upon the corporation. The order for the examination of the defendants should, therefore, be modified by striking out the provision for the production of books and papers, leaving the plaintiff to obtain such books and papers as may be necessary for the examination by subpoena duces tecum at the time of the examination. The order should, therefore, be modified as above indicated and as modified affirmed, without costs. Present — Ingraham, P. J., Clarke, Scott, Dowling and Hotchkiss, JJ. Order modified as stated in opinion, and as modified affirmed, without costs. Order to be settled on notice.
