1. ““But, as we have seen, payment was postponed by the terms of the agreement until the happening of some future event, i. e., the payment of installments of the purchase price, and therefore, it must be made to appear affirmatively that such event has occurred as a condition precedent to plaintiff’s right to recover. (Van Buskirk v. Kuhns, 164 Cal. 472 [Ann. Cas. 1914B, 932, 44 L. R. A. (N. S.) 710, 129 Pac. 587 ].) There is here no averment that any of the installments of the trust deed note were ever paid, and it is not shown by the pleading that the fund from which plaintiff’s claim should be satisfied at, any time materialized; hence, no sufficient cause of action is alleged in the complaint.””
