1. ““By that decision it was held that under the transfer and conveyances to plaintiffs herein they acquired the legal title to the property, leaving, in defendants a mere equity of redemption. * * * ihe judgment upon the former appeal is determinative of the rights of either party to this transaction, and operates as an estoppel. While the plaintiffs cannot foreclose, defendants cannot redeem. Wherever the right to possession of the land may have been before the time for redemption had expired, upon the failure of defendants to redeem within the statutory period the right vested absolutely in plaintiffs, and their title, freed from defendants’ equities, became full and complete.””
