People ex rel. O'Brien v. Caldwell Manufacturing Co.

Order modified in accordance with stipulation of the respondent in open court, by striking from the first ordering paragraph the words “ and all other records and papers of said corporation,” and as so modified affirmed, without costs on this appeal to either party.

J., Crosby, Lewis, Cunningham and Dowling, JJ.
