The trial judge ruled correctly. The denial of a motion for judgment on the pleadings is not appealable, as the same is not a final judgment. It was the duty of the plaintiff to have excepted to the refusal of the judge to grant the motion so that it could have been considered on an appeal from the final judgment. Gilliam v. Jones, 191 N. C., 621, 132 S. E., 566.

Affirmed.
