the judgment of the court committing the error. A judginent upon such a motion is within itself a final judgment, from which an appeal will lie. A trial court will not be compelled by mandate where the remedy is open by way of appeal from an order overruling the motion to vacate a judgment of dismissal, voidable only: State v. Riley, 219 Mo. 667, 118 S. W. 647, 656.

20. Motion to vacate a judgment, charging the fact of death, and supported by proof, takes the place of the common-law writ of error coram nobis: State v. Riley, 219 Mo. 667, 118 S. W. 647, 651.

21. Judgment upon the pleadings.-As a general proposition, a motion for judgment on the pleadings, based on the facts thereby established, can not be sustained except where, upon such facts, a judgment different from that pronounced could not be rendered, notwithstanding any evidence which might be produced; or, in other words, such a motion can not be sustained unless, under the admitted facts, the moving party is entitled to judgment, without regard to what the findings might be on the facts upon which issue is joined. Therefore, in determining the rights of the defendant to the judgment given him, the real question to determine is the sufficiency of the admitted facts to warrant the judgment rendered and the materiality of those on which issue was joined. A motion for judgment on the pleadings can not prevail unless, on facts thereby established, the court, as a matter of law, can pronounce a judgment on the merits; that is, determine the rights of the parties to the subject-matter of the controversy, and render a judgment in relation thereto which is final between the parties. Such a motion can not, under the guise of a motion for judgment on the pleadings, be substituted for some other plea: Mills v. Hart, 21 Colo. 505, 52 Pac. 680, 65 Am. St. Rep. 241, citing Rice v. Bush, 16 Colo. 484, 27 Pac. 720; Harris v. Harris, 9 Colo. App. 211, 47 Pac. 841, approved in Hoover v. Horn, 45 Colo. 288, 101 Pac. 55, 56, and in Roberts v. Colorado Springs etc. R. Co., 45 Colo. 188, 101 Pac. 59, 61.

22. Motion not substitute for demurrer.-A motion for judgment upon the pleadings can not be made to take the place of a demurrer or other plea:

Roberts v. Colorado Springs etc. R. Co., 45 Colo. 188, 101 Pac. 59, 61; Shuler v. Allan, 45 Colo. 372, 101 Pac. 350, 352. 23. A motion for judgment on the pleadings can not be converted into a general demurrer: Schuler v. Allan, 45 Colo. 372, 101 Pac. 350, 352, citing Harris v. Harris. 9 Colo. App. 211, 47 Pac. 841; Mills v. Hart, 24 Colo. 505, 52 Pac. 680, 65 Am. St. Rep. 241; Rice v. Bush, 16 Colo. 484, 27 Pac. 720; Cornett v. Smith, 15 Colo. App. 53, 60 Pac. 953; Hoover v. Horn, 45 Colo. 288, 101 Pac. 55.

24. Motion admits truth of pleas.-A motion for judgment upon the pleadings admits that the statements in the pleas are true: Roberts v. Colorado Springs etc. R. Co., 45 Colo. 188, 101 Pac. 59, 61.

25. When a party moves for judgment on the pleadings, he not only, for the purpose of his motion, admits the truth of all the allegations of his adversary, but also must be deemed to adopt all his adversaries' denials: Phenix v. Bijelich, 30 Nev. 257, 95 Pac. 351, 353, citing Walling v. Bown, 9 Idaho 184, 72 Pac. 960; Idaho P. M. Co. v. Green, 14 Idaho 294, Pac. 161, 164.

26. Motion proper when denials are only of conclusions.—A judgment on the pleadings is proper where the denials in the answer are only of conclusions, and not of the facts constituting the plaintiff's cause of action. Denials which relate only to the effect of such facts are immaterial: Thompson v. Colvin, 53 Ore. 488, 101 Pac. 201, 202, citing Bump v. Cooper, 20 Ore. 527, 26 Pac. 848.

27. Relation of inconsistent defenses to the motion.-On a motion for judgment on the pleadings, inconsistent defenses can not be regarded as vitiating one another; but if a good defense is stated in the answer, it must be considered as true: Hoover v. Horn, 45 Colo. 288, 101 Pac. 55, 56.

on

28. Arizona practice. Judgment the pleading is a practice recognized by the courts of Arizona: Randall v. Fox (Ariz.), 108 Pac. 249, 250, citing Miles v. McCallan, 1 Ariz. 491, 3 Pac. 610; Finley v. City of Tucson, 7 Ariz. 108, 60 Pac. 872.

29. Waiver of motion.-A motion for judgment on the pleadings is held to be waived by the defendant where he goes to trial on the merits: Sundmacher v. Lloyd, 135 Mo. App. 517, 116 S. W. 12, 13.
