The description of the papers, so far from being indefinite, is exceedingly specific. The items called for are very numerous, but that apparently results from the nature of the inquiry to which they are intended to be addressed. The petitioner’s lion will in no respect be disturbed by his production of these papers; all that is sought is to offer them in evidence; when marked in evidence, they are to be returned, and copies substituted in the record.
