““The proper practice in such cases is to determine the entire controversy, both as to excuse for such failure and as to the alleged meritorious defense. The case is not tried piecemeal, but the entire controversy is heard in one proceeding; and where a jury is demanded either party is entitled to a jury finding on the issues involving excuse for failure to defend as well as upon the issues involved in the alleged meritorious defense.””
