The defendants base their claim on article first, § 19 of the Connecticut constitution which states that “[t]he right of trial by jury shall remain inviolate.” It is clear that as to causes triable to a jury prior to the constitution of 1818, and extant at the time of its adoption, the right to a jury trial may not be abolished.
