Text: It will be recalled that Judge Carter concluded that Messall v. Merlands Club, 233 Md. 29, was not res judicata as to any of the issues in the ejectment suit because no evidence concerning Lessee's [Tenant's] failure to repair subsequent to 22 August 1961 was admitted. Judge Pugh says Judge Carter was in error in doing so and he cites many pages of the transcript (in 233 Md. 29) in support of his views. We have examined this testimony but we find nothing which would undercut Judge Carter's finding. There are a few references to work which was done prior to August 1962 (when the testimony was produced) but it must be remembered that Judge Carter's finding was in respect of conditions as they existed between 1 November and 18 December 1962.
