1. ““When the reading of the deposition was first offered by the defendant, the attention of the court was not called to any material subject-matter which it contained that was not fully covered by her previous oral examination at the trial. The deposition of the witness having been taken under.subdivision (1) of section 2021 of the Code of Civil Procedure as a party to the action, the defendant would have been entitled to read it in evidence, notwithstanding her personal appearance at the trial, provided it contained anything material to the issues which were not covered by her oral examination at the trial. It is not claimed any such omitted evidence is contained in the deposition. The permission to read the deposition of a witness, under section 2022 of the Code of Civil Procedure, when he is a party to the action and all the material evidence therein contained has been fully covered by an examination of the witness at the trial, is discretionary with the court.””
