THE BROOKLYN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, Respondent, v. NATHANIEL A. PIERCE and others, Appellants.
    
      Inspection of papers — affidavit, on motion for — what it must contain.
    
    On a motion for an inspection of papers, the moving affidavit alleged the nature of the action; the fact that several letters had been written to the plaintiff; that they constituted the agreement set up in the answer ; that they were material and necessary to the defense, and contained evidence relating to the merits, and that without them defendant could not safely proceed to trial. Reid, insufficient. Facts should be given which will enable the court to determine for itself whether the evidence is material. (Cassett'd v. Rinman, 6 Duer, 695; Pegmrn v. Cat-son, 10 Abb., 340.)
    Appeal from an order denying a motion for the inspection, and for a copy of papers, in the possession of plaintiff.
    
      Stephen K. Williams, for appellants. A. Ford, for respondent.
   Opinion by

Davis, P. J.
