79 R.I. 32, 39, 83 A.2d 79, 82 (1951). The fact that the affirmative defense of collateral estoppel was not pleaded by the landlord is of no moment. We see no harm to the tenants’ rights because, just as soon as Patricia was asked by her counsel about the April rent, an objection was raised on the basis of the District Court judgment. It was obvious then, as it is now, that the landlord was relying upon the judgment entered in the trespass and ejectment action. See also Air-Lite Products, Inc. v. Gilbane Building Co., 115 R.I. 410, 422, 347 A.2d 623, 629 (1975).
