Motion to . examine George P. Monaghan, a former Police Commissioner of the City of New York, as a witness on the ground that said individual is a hostile witness.

The motion papers do not indicate the items upon which the examination is to be had and such examination will therefore be limited to the items allowed in the companion motion decided herewith (Schuster v.
