Syllabus

<p>Home fob Adult Blind—Power of Directors—Expulsion of Resident Inmates.—In the absence of provision in the statute or by-laws upon the subject, the board of directors of the Home for Adult Blind, under its general supervisory power over the institution, has a right to suspend, dismiss, or expel resident inmates who have been guilty of disorderly conduct.</p> <p>Id.—Expulsion Without Hearing.—A resident inmate of the Home for Adult Blind has no such right or interest in the home that he cannot be deprived of its benefits without notice or hearing, in the absence of a statute or by-law conferring such right.</p> <p>Id.—Discretion of Board of Directors—Finality of Action.—The matter of the expulsion of inmates from the Home for Adult Blind, not being regulated by a statute or by-law, is left entirely within the power and discretion of the board of directors; and where, by order entered upon the minutes of the board, it appears that an inmate was guilty of insubordination and misconduct and was expelled therefor, the action of the board must be deemed final and conclusive, and there is no appeal to the courts from such finding of fact.</p>
