The Superior Court of New York City June 15, 1882 (Manley v. Bonnel)

Russell, J.

The right of a principal to a discovery of books and vouchers of his agent, seems to rest on different and stronger grounds than the right of a party to the inspection of the books of an adversary (Story Eq. Jur. § 462; Perry on Trusts, § 882; Freeman v. Fairler, 3 Meriv. 28; Lewin on Trusts, 51; 1 Jacob Ch. 108; Livingston v. Curtis, 12 Hun, 121).
