Such order was authorized by statute, and in conformity tó the established practice of the court. (2 R. S., 183, § 106; Innes v. Lansing, 7 Paige, 583; Blodgett v. Kerr, 48 N. Y., 62; Erie R. R.

It would have been proper and no more than just to *544 the present appellant had the order provided that the evidence taken.in pursuance of the order of reference in his action should have been made available in the proceedings before the referee in the Brooker action. But the granting of the order and its terms were within the discretion of the court below, and cannot .be reviewed in this court.
