**  The  Federal  Constitution  declares,  *  In  all  suits  at  common  law,  where
the  value  in  controversy  shall  exceed  twenty  dollars^  the  right  of  trial  by
jury  shall  be  preserved  ;*  but  the  act  of  1793,  in  suits  in  which  *  the  value
in  controversy'  exceeds  all  estimation,  dispenses  with  trial  by  jury,  and  in-
deed with  almost  every  safeguard  of  justice  and  personal  liberty." — Ib,^
p.  33.
