Per Curiam:

¶1We do not think that we should sanction the practice of requiring a defendant to produce for inspection a deed at a photographer’s studio so that it might be photographed. We think the better practice is to direct that the deed should be placed in the custody of *274the county clerk with permission to the plaintiff to inspect it and, if he desires, to have it photographed. .

¶2The order accordingly should be so modified, without costs.
