The defendant failed to prove any representation that the lease contained a 12‑month break clause and was negligent in signing a Chinese lease; non est factum fails. The landlord did not accept the purported surrender (the letter of 18 September did not amount to acceptance). The landlord validly elected to stand on the lease and claim full rent; accordingly judgment for the plaintiff for the rent due less the retained deposit was entered.
