1. ““The chief error of which defendant complains is that he was deprived of a jury trial. At the call of the term calendar, the attorney who represented defendant stated the case was for the jury; plaintiff’s attorney insisted that it was an equity action triable to the court. The clerk’s entry is: ‘For trial. • Court determines that above case was a court case.’ The record does not contain any further request, either for a jury trial when it was reached for trial, or for submission of issues to the jury, or any objection to the court proceeding without a, jury, and no exception to the ruling of the court made on the call.of the calendar or brought to its attention by a motion for a new trial. The point that defendant was erroneously deprived of a jury is not available upon the record before us. Banning v. Hall, 70 Minn. 89 , 72 N.W. 817 .””
