In Corporations

A removal of an official agent of a corporation from the station assigned to him before the expiration of the term for which he was appointed. 6 Conn. 532. The term is distinguished from disfranchisement, which deprives a member of all rights as a corporator. The term seems in strictness not to apply properly to cases where officers are appointed merely during the will of the corporation, and are superseded by the choice of a successor, but as commonly used includes such cases. 4 Abb. Pr. (N. S.; N. Y.) 192.
