1. This is an interlocutory appeal from the order of Deputy Judge Carlson made in the course of a hearing of the wife's petition for ancillary relief. The respondent husband is said to be a man of very considerable wealth. A substantial lump sum award is at stake. The wife was being cross-examined on her expenditure and she asked to refer to two diaries she had kept to refresh her memory. She was given leave over the objections of counsel for the husband.
