The judge exercised discretion to refuse the plaintiffs' summonses for further discovery of the seven contested documents because the originals were not shown to be necessary for fair disposal of the trial, would be of marginal value given the stage and evidence already before the court, and ordering exhaustive searches or affidavits would impose an unfair and disproportionate burden on the defendants; the summonses were dismissed with costs.
