FLEMING S. PHILLIPS, App’lt, v. THE GERMANIA MILLS, Resp’t.

Headnote

Examination op books op a corporation.
Appeal from order vacating order for the production of the defendant’s books.
W. J. Curtis, for app’lt; Joseph A. Shoudy, for resp’t.

It would have been a doubtful exercise of power on the part of the court to make an order requiring a foreign corporation to bring its books from its principal office in a sister state to the state of New York for the inspection asked for in this ease, especially after it had offered to allow the inspection of its books at its office in the foreign state, if the plaintiff desired to make such inspection.

The order should be affirmed, with ten dollars costs.and disbursements.
