The defendant held a tenancy of a shop from year to year. The landlord gave him a notice giving a valid date for termination, but continued with a term providing a different rent if the tenant stayed in possession.
Held: The later words did not invalidate the earlier effective notice. A notice to quit which is optional is not a notice to quit.
