In pleading. Making a new series of pleadings. Judgment of repleader differs from a judgment n'on obstante veredicto in this, is in the form or manner of stating the right, and the issue joined is on an immaterial point, so that it cannot tell for whom to give judgment (7 Mass. 312; 3 Pick. [Mass.] 124; 19 Pick. [Mass.] 419); while judgment non obstante is given only where it is clearly apparent to the court that the party who has succeeded has, upon his own showing, no merits, and cannot have by any manner of statement (1 Chit. PI. 568).

See 19 Ark. 194.
