1Opinion of the Court

FINCH, Judge.

This is an equity suit by mortgagors in a deed of trust who sought to set aside a trustee’s deed given to the purchaser at a foreclosure sale and to redeem from that sale. The trial court entered judgment in favor of defendants and plaintiffs have appealed. We have jurisdiction because title to real estate is involved. We affirm.

In our review of a case such as this, we do not disturb the findings and judgment of the trial court unless clearly erroneous. Supreme Court Rule 73.01(d), V.A.M.R.; Pope v. Cox, Mo., 417 S.W.2d 929. The transcript in this case exceeds one thousand pages…
