Edison Manufacturing Co. v. Hazard ( 1890 )

Per Curiam.

The objection taken to the order for defendant’s examination, was that the proposed examination might call for testimony that could be used to subject the defendant to a statutory penalty. The order confined the examination by such limits that it cannot now be said that the apprehended result must happen.

■ In this case, it is best that any question as to a privilege by defendant against inculpating himself be determined upon the examination, when his rights will be completely protected.

Order affirmed with ten dollars costs.
