““The appellant, BTippin, could have proceeded in an action at law against the receivers without leave of the court. 25 Stat. 433 , Act 1888. Of his own accord he intervened in a suit in equity, and submitted himself to the jurisdiction of the court By doing this he waived his right to a trial hy jury, for it is a fundamental principle that the right of trial by jury, considered as an absolute right, does not extend to cases of equity jurisdiction.””
