This is review of judgment for plaintiff for recovery of possession of premises in summary proceedings, begun before a circuit court commis *526 sioner, appealed1 to circuit court and tried before the court without a jury.

In May, 1933, .'-he parties had negotiations for sale and purchase of the premises. Defendants paid $60 to plaintiff’s secretary, who executed to him a nondescript instrument which begins as a receipt of the money for rent of tihe premises from May 25th to July 25th, then shifts tto a sort of option to defendant to buy the premisses for $4,500, defendant to advise plaintiff of his intention to buy or not nr buy by June 25th, provides for adjustment of taxes, interest, and credit for the rent paid in case defendant purchases, and concludes

“This instrument is just a rent receipt, and the notes added hereto are done so merely as am expression of what Mr. Bon may want tto do. ’ ’

July 26, 1933, defendant paid piad nt If $210 more and took a receipt for seven months’ rent for the period ending February 25, 1934, in which receipt it was agreed that if defendant should purchase the property the previous and present rent payments should apply on the purchase price.

Some time later, plaintiff sold the premises elsewhere but the terms of sale are not in evidence.

On January 24, 1934, plaintiff served on defendant notice to terminate the tenancy. Defendant claims that he was ready and willing to make the purchase, offered to pay the difference between the purchase price and an outstanding mortgage, demanded a statement from plaintiff of the amount and was not able to obtain one. He made no actual tender of money. The action to recover possession was commenced February 28, 1934.

Construed most favorably to defendant, the instruments constituted no more than a lease to Feb *527 ruary 25th, with an option to purchase. Defendant’s right to possession ceased when the lease expired. If he had any lights under the option, his remedy therefor was in equity. Circuit court commissioners have no equitable jurisdiction nor are equitable defenses admissible in summary proceedings. Armstrong v. Grimm, 268 Mich. 437.

Affirmed, with costs.
