““Where a case of equitable cognizance is tried to a jury, the verdict is advisory only, and it is the duty of the court to make its own determination of the issues of fact and law, and in such a case this court, on appeal, will weigh the evidence but will not reverse the judgment on the facts unless it is against the clear weight of the evidence.””
