Opinion of the Court

Clark, J.:

Under the devise in the will, which is-appended to the complaint, the property was left in trust to be “ divided when the youngest child should arrive at age.” That contingency not yet having happened, a division can not be ordered. Green v. Green, 86 N. C., 546. The complaint fails to state a cause of action.

Dismissed.. .
