TRIAL, § 32 — offer of proof. In a mandamus proceeding to compel respondents to permit an examination of the list of names of stockholders, wherein penalties were assessed for failure to permit the examination, it was error to exclude testimony offered by respondents as to the motive behind the action of petitioner in seeking a list of stockholders and the offered evidence tending to show that petitioner and another were trying to obtain partial or complete control of the management of respondent company should have been admitted.
