1. A turning out, as the eviction of a tenant or the removal of a person from office. [Cases: Landlord and Tenant 275; Officers and Public Employees 70. C.J.S. Landlord and Tenant §§ 716–718, 724; Officers and Public Employees§ 175.]
2. The common-law procedure available to shareholders to remove a corporate director for cause. [Cases: Corporations 294. C.J.S. Corporations §§ 454–457.]
“The cases do not distinguish clearly between disfranchisement and amotion. The former applies to members, and the latter only to officers; and if an officer be removed for good cause, he may still continue to be a member of the corporation. Disfranchisement is the greater power, and more formidable in its application; and in joint stock or moneyed corporations no stockholder can be disfranchised, and thereby deprived of his property or interest in the general fund, by any act of the corporation, without at least an express authority for that purpose.” 2 James Kent, Commentaries on American Law *298 (George Comstock ed., 11th ed. 1866).
3. The wrongful moving or carrying away of another’s personal property.
