Opinion
June 9, 1953.
Present — Peck, P.J., Glennon, Cohn, Callahan and Breitel, JJ.;
Order affirmed, with $20 costs and disbursements to petitioner-respondent.
Although phrased as a discovery proceeding under section 205 of the Surrogate's Court Act, it appears that what is sought in this case and what remains after the denial of an examination as to the savings bank books, is an accounting of the relationship and transactions between decedent and respondent over a period of years. Such an inquiry is not, in my opinion, within the proper scope of a discovery proceeding in the Surrogate's Court. Settle order on notice. [See post, p. 761.]
