Syllabus

<p>A Court has no power to send an ordinary suit at law to a referee for trial against the objection of either party; and this, whether the suit requires the examination of a long account or not. And a statute authorizing a reference in such case would be unconstitutional.</p> <p>Our statute as to referring- cases applies solely to equity causes. The right of trial by jury in all common law actions is secured by the Constitution of this State.</p> <p>A point as to waiver.</p>
