      Appeal by the plaintiff, Christian Thieler, from a judgment of the Supreme Court in favor of the defendants, Mary Bayner and others, entered in the office of the clerk of the county of Kings on the 11th day of January, 1906, upon the decision of the court, rendered after a trial at the Kings County Special Term, adjudging the 5tli and 6th clauses of the last will and testament of Theodore Thieler, deceased, to be valid and effective.

Choisy, all of my real and personal estate (not hereinbefore disposed of by me) in equal parts, share and share alike, during their natural lives and to their survivor or survivors, subject to all of the provisions herein-before stated.

Choisy, Christian Thieler and Mary.Bayner, I give and devise all the rest, residue and remainder of'my real and personal estate to the Trustees of the Hall and Asylum Fund and to The German Masonic Temple Association (of Freemasons) and to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in equal parts forever (all of Hew York City, H.

   Woodward, J.:

It distinctly appears by the terms of the will itself, the validity of which is attacked in this case, that a deed executed by the life tenants and the remaindermen would convey an absolute title in fee. Under these circumstances there is no restraint upon alienation or violation of the rule against perpetuities within the express definition of the statute.

. The judgment should be affirmed, with costs:

Hirschberg, P. J., Gaynor, Rich and Miller, JJ., concurred.

Judgment affirmed, with costs.
