<p>Reformatories (2)—Commitment—Transfer of Prisoners. A woman sentenced to commitment in the Women’s Industrial Home and Clinic, on conviction of grand larceny, was transferable to the state prison by order of the board of directors of the industrial home, under the authority conferred by Laws 1919, p. 570, § 13; the determination by the board of the necessity for the transfer not being the exercise of a judicial function.</p> <p>Habeas Corpus (8-1)—Grounds—Correction of Error. Mere error on the part of the board of directors of the Women’s Industrial Home and Clinic, committed in the exercise of acknowledged power to make transfers of inmates to the state prison, is not subject to review in habeas corpus proceedings.</p>
