840 charsSpear, J. This is an action of forcible entry and detainer. The only question involved is the interpretation of a lease of Judson Briggs, the plaintiff’s testator, executed and delivered January 22, 1906. The clauses of the instrument in question are found in the habendum which read : "To have and to hold for the term of one year from the date hereof with the privilege on the part of said Chase of renewing at the same rental for any term not exceeding ten years from the expiration of said one year term.” And the following stipulation concerning the right of renewal, "It is mutually understood, that the said right of renewal as stipulated, shall be wholly optional with the said Chase and that such renewal, while in all other respects the same as is this lease, shall contain no further right of renewal except by mutual agreement.”
