1. NEW TRIAL.-Grounds of motion must be specified.-It is a general rule that, to enable the court on appeal to review the action of the court below upon a motion, the grounds or the particular reasons of the motion must be specified: Williams v. Hawley, 144 Cal. 97, 101, 77 Pac. 762, 763.

Reference to papers on file as to grounds. It is not necessary to state the grounds at length. The moving party must in some way inform the court of the grounds of the motion, and this may be done as well by reference to some paper on file in the action in which the grounds are stated as by oral statement thereof upon the hearing: Williams v. Hawley, 144 Cal. 97, 99, 77 Pac. 762, 763.

Sufficient statement of grounds.Grounds of motion for a judgment on the pleadings are sufficiently stated as follows: That the motion will be made "upon the pleadings, papers, files, and records in said action, and upon the ground that the answer on file herein constitutes no defense to the cause of action or any portion thereof stated in the complaint": Hearst v. Hart, 128 Cal. 327, 328, 60 Pac. 846.

2. Motion heard at subsequent term of court.-A motion to set aside an order sustaining defendant's motion for new trial filed during the term in which the order was made, but heard and determined at the following term of court upon a continuance; held proper: Chandler v. Gloyd, 217 Mo. 394, 116 S. W. 1073, 1074.

3. Perjury as ground for new trial.Nebraska statute.-Under the Nebraska

statute, a judgment may be vacated and a new trial awarded for the perjury of the successful party, either by a proceeding under section 602 of the code or by an independent suit in equity: Munro v. Calahan, 55 Neb. 75, 75 N. W. 151, 70 Am. St. Rep. 366; Barr v. Post, 59 Neb. 361, 363, 80 N. W. 1041, 80 Am. St. Rep. 680; Wirth v. Weigand, 85 Neb. 115, 122 N. W. 714, 715.

4. Effect of motion for new trial granted. A motion for a new trial after the entry of judgment does not, upon being granted, ipso facto, vacate the judgment. The motion for a new trial should not, therefore, be entertained unless coupled with a motion to vacate the judgment: Whitney v. Karner, 44 Wis. 563; Bailey v. Costello, 94 Wis. 87, 93 N. W. 663. The same rule applies in a proceeding for an order vacating an order for deficiency in foreclosure: Homestead Land Co. v. Saveland, 139 Wis. 663, 121 N. W. 892, 893.

5. APPEAL.-Grounds of motion on review. All the grounds alleged in a motion for a new trial are before the appellate court when the case is up for review, though the trial court sustain the motion on but one of the grounds. and that, perchance, one in which there was no error: Whitesett v. People's National Bank, 138 Mo. App. 81, 119 S. W. 999, 1001; Ittner v. Hughes, 133 Mo. 679, 34 S. W. 1110; Hewitt v. Steele, 118 Mo. 463, 24 S. W. 440; Bank v. Armstrong. 92 Mo. 265, 4 S. W. 720; State v. Adams, 84 Mo. 310.

6. Order or judgment nunc pro tunc providing for answer to amendment.— The judgment on appeal may direct the

[blocks in formation]

7. Failure to file an answer to an amendment to the complaint is not ground for reversal of the judgment. The record can still be corrected to conform with the order permitting the amendment: Cummings V. Roeth, 10 Cal. App. 144, 101 Pac. 434, 436; French v. McCarthy, 125 Cal. 508, 58 Pac. 154. 8. Rule as to reversal of judgment for defects In complaint.-Judgment will not be reversed for defects in the complaint which fall short of an entire absence of material and indispensable matter: Hallock v. Jaudin, 34 Cal. 167, 174.

9. Motion to dismiss.-When should be overruled.-A motion to dismiss an appeal on the ground that the same should have been preceded by a motion for new trial in the court below, will be overruled where the cause was submitted in the trial court on an agreed statement of facts. In such a case the motion for a new trial is unnecessary: Nichols v. Trueman, 80 Kan. 89, 101 Pac. 633, 634; Atkins v. Nordyke-Marmon Co., 60 Kan. 354, 56 Pac. 533.

10. Order striking out a pleading is reviewable on an appeal from the judgment: Clifford v. Adams, 84 Cal. 528, 532, 24 Pac. 292; Alpers v. Bliss, 145 Cal. 565, 569, 79 Pac. 171.

11. Order granting a nonsuit may be reviewed on an appeal from the judgment based on such order, or on an order denying a new trial: Converse v. Scott, 137 Cal. 239, 244, 70 Pac. 13.

12. Review of orders made upon motions. Where a specific kind of relief is sought by motion,-as, for example, where a party by motion seeks to set aside a judgment procured by fraud,-it is essential to present a review in the appellate court of the order made thereon, that the party against whom the order is directed preserve an exception at the time of the ruling, and exemplify the same to the appellate court by bill of exceptions duly filed. This rule obtains as a prerequisite to the right of

review of the appellate court, and arises out of the distinction made in the statutes between an appeal from a ruling on a motion and an appeal from a judgment or an order on a pleading; the motion itself not being a pleading in the strict meaning of that word: Graff v. Dougherty, 139 Mo. App. 56, 120 S. W. 661, 663; City of St. Louis v. Brooks, 107 Mo. 380, 384, 18 S. W. 22; Ecton v. Kansas City etc. R. Co., 56 Mo. App. 337; Corby v. Tracy, 62 Mo. 511.

13. Matters not considered on appeal from order.-Questions relating to the sufficiency of a complaint, rulings upon demurrers, and the sufficiency of the findings to support the judgment can not be considered on an appeal from an order denying a motion for a new trial: Great Western G. Co. v. Chambers, 153 Cal. 307, 310, 95 Pac. 151, (for accounting); Swift v. Occidental M. Co., 141 Cal. 161, 74 Pac. 700; Holmes v. Warren, 145 Cal. 457, 78 Pac. 954; Brownlee v. Reiner, 147 Cal. 641, 82 Pac. 324; County Bank v. Jack, 148 Cal. 437, 83 Pac. 705, 113 Am. St. Rep. 285; Wheeler v. Bolton, 92 Cal. 159, 28 Pac. 558; Brison v. Brison, 90 Cal. 323, 27 Pac. 186.

14. Sufficiency of complaint. When not considered.-The appellate court will not consider the sufficiency of a complaint on an appeal from an order denying a new trial: Naylor & Norlin v. Lewiston etc. El. R. Co., 14 Idaho 789. 96 Pac. 573, 575, (to foreclose lien for labor performed and materials furnished), citing Swett v. Gray, 141 Cal. 63, 74 Pac. 439; Swift v. Occidental M. etc. Co., 141 Cal. 161, 74 Pac. 700; Bode v. Lee, 102 Cal. 583, 36 Pac. 936; Alpers v. Hunt, 86 Cal. 78, 24 Pac. 846, 9 L. R. A. 483, 21 Am. St. Rep. 17.

15. The sufficiency of the complaint will be considered only upon appeal from the judgment: Naylor & Norlin v. Lewiston etc. El. R. Co., 14 Idaho 789, 96 Pac. 573, 575.

16. Petition when liberally construed on appeal. After proof has been adduced on both sides of a controverted issue, and a final decree entered, the petition, when not assailed by motion or demurrer, should be liberally construed by the reviewing court and sustained, if the essential elements of the plaintir's case may be implied from its terms by reasonable intendment: Kimmerly v. McMichael, 83 Neb. 789, 120 N. W. 487, 488, citing Sorensen v. Sorensen, 68 Neb. 483,
