Such an examination should not be allowed to disclose evidence which is not material and necessary in the prosecution or defense of the proceeding (CPLR 3101). While a proceeding to correct an assessment has been called a proceeding to review and has been referred to as a certiorari proceeding it reviews nothing. It is a trial de novo to decide whether the total assessment of the property is correct and if it is not to correct it. (People ex rel. Manhattan Ry. Co. v. Barker, 152 N. Y. 417; People ex rel. Thomson v. Feitner, 168 N. Y. 441; People ex rel. Jamaica Water Supply Co. v. State Board of Tax Comrs., 196 N. Y. 39; People ex rel. MacCracken v. Miller, 291 N. Y. 55.) The petition herein alleges that the assessment is erroneous by reason of overvaluation and being made at a higher proportionate valuation than the assessments of other property on the same assessment rolls.
