An inspector of the government of corporations or bodies politic. 1 Bl. Comm. 482. Visitor is an inspector of the government of a corporation, etc. The ordinary is visitor of spiritual corporations. But corporations instituted for private charity, if they are lay, are visitable by the founder or whom he shail appoint; and from the sentence of such visitor there lies no appeal.
