Millard, J.

¶1 (dissenting) — In the absence of a provision in the trust deed, and there being no law in this state forbidding the beneficiary of a trust like the one in the case at bar to assign his right to a future income, the cestui que trust may sell and transfer his right to such income. The authorities sustaining the foregoing *402 are numerous, but I refrain from burdening the books with such citations and quotations, as no good purpose would be served- thereby.

¶2 The judgment should be reversed.
