633 charsHolley v. Young, 66 Maine, 520, is a case in which the language in the lease is, in effect, analogous to the language in the lease before us. After stating the consideration, describing the property *322and fixing the term, it says: "We further agree to lease to said Young said premises, situated in Farmington Village at the price and conditions named as long as he wishes to occupy the same.” This lease did not place any limit upon his "wish.” The legal limit was therefore his life. He could, however, determine it at any intervening point of time "if he wished.” This was plainly more indefinite than "not exceeding ten years.”
