of equity before judgment recovered on
those claims could not take cognizance of
suit to enforce thom also. that under the
constitution of the United States the de-
PENDANTS in a common law claim were enti-
tied to q trial by jury, and the attempt to
enforce an ordinary claim before judgment
through court of equity deprived the de-
PENDANT Of this constitutional right.
