THE COURT. The controversy which is before this court upon an appeal from a judgment ordering a writ of mandate to issue, concerns the right of the Horse Racing Board, established under the provisions of the California Horse Racing Act (Stats. 1933, p. 2046; Deerings Gen. Laws, 1937, Act 3421, p. 1634), to suspend the respondents license as a trainer of horses. More specifically, the question is whether such action may be taken without affording the licensee a hearing.
