Renew

To make again; as, to renew a treaty or a covenant. Daggett v. Daggett, 324 Mass. 151.

A common meaning is to make again; as, to renew — a treaty, a covenant, an objection or exception. The written declaration " I hereby renew the within note," imports a promise anew to pay the amount ot the note, not merely an admission that the old note is unpaid.' 1 Phoenix Ins. Co. v.

Imparting continued or new force or effect to; the substitution of a new right or obligation for another of the same nature; also, that which is renewed, extended, or substituted. As, the renewal of bail, of a lease, of a patent. "Renewals" is often used, particularly of renewal notes and premiums. The "renewal "of a bill of exchange does not necessarily import that some new and additional bill or bills must be drawn or accepted. It is not a word of apt; it has no legal or technical signification; and though, in common parlance, it might appear, prima facie, to s-pply to something new, yet there is nothing forced or absurd in giving it a different meaning.'' Renewal premiums upon policies of insurance are not debts due to the insurer.^ The ''renewal" of a patent is often synonymous with the " extension " of the patent.* Where a mortgage was given to secure the payment of promissory notes, made by the mortgagee for the accommodation of the mortgagor, and the renewals thereof until the whole sum was paid, it was held that it was not necessary, in order to constitute notes subsequently used "renewals" of such original notes, that they should have been issued for the same amounts, at the same periods, and that each successive note should have been applied to take up its immediate predecessor.^ See Usury.
