   PER CURIAM.

Under the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure (section 872, subd. 7, as amended by Laws 1911, c. 781, and Laws 1913, c. 278), the plaintiff is entitled to examine the defendant corporation by its officers or managing agent, and to require the production of books and papers, which may be offered and received in evidence.

The order appealed from is therefore modified, by striking out that portion which states that defendant is not required to produce its books and papers, and, as so modified, affirmed, without costs. Settle order on notice.
