Frank v. George C. Frank's Administrator

We discharge the rule, and should not have laid it, except to afford the party applying for it an opportunity to show authority for it, if he could. But whatever may be the suspicions attaching to the conduct of the plaintiff, as alleged in the affidavit, we have no power to command the production of these notes for the purposes stated, or for any other purpose, in this stage of the case; and we have, therefore, no hesitation in dismissing it.
