1Opinion of the Court

STORCKMAN, Judge.

These cross-appeals are from an order and judgment allowing plaintiffs’ attorneys $80,000 as fees for services and $4,327.77 for expenses incurred in the prosecution of an equity action involving the construction of a voting trust agreement. One ground of defendants’ appeal is that the allowance of attorneys’ fees is excessive by at least $75,000, while the plaintiffs in their appeal assert that the allowance is inadequate in the sum of $60,000. The amounts involved vest jurisdiction in this court. Art. V, § 3, Constitution of Missouri 1945; Section 477.040 RSMo 1959, V.A.M.S.
