1. ““The respondents contend that this appeal should be dismissed for the reason that the order appealed from is not a final judgment. We are of the opinion that this contention is correct. Mr. Justice Miner, in delivering the opinion,of this court in White v. Pease, 15 Utah 170, 172 , 49 P. 416, 417 , said: ‘The judgment in this case was final. The proceeding on motion for a new trial had reference to the regularity of the judgment. The order refusing a new trial was an order confirming its finality. We are of the opinion that any errors committed by the trial court in granting or refusing to grant a new trial, and any affidavits used on said motion, if properly identified and embodied in a bill of exceptions, or otherwise properly preserved in the record, may be reviewed on appeal from the judgment.’ So in this case the judgment was final. The proceeding to correct had reference to the regularity of the judgment. The order denying the motion was an order confirming its finality. Any errors committed by the trial court in denying such motion * * * could only be reviewed upon an appeal from the judgment. Watson v. Mayberry, 15 Utah 265 , 49 P. 479 ; Nelson v. Southern Pacific, 15 Utah 325 , 49 P. 644 .””
