*In the matter of Williams, an insolvent debtor.
    
    In proceedings under the “ act for the relief of debtors, with respect to the imprisonment of their persons,” creditors residing out of the state, as it respects notice, are to be considered as not to be found. *
    An application was made in behalf of the insolvent, who was in prison, that he might be discharged under the “ act for the relief of debtors, with respect to the imprisonment of their persons.
    It was objected, 1. That notice had not been served on a particular creditor residing in the state of Massachusetts, nor an affidavit made that he could not be found.
    
      2. That the sum for which the prisoner was charged in execution, was not mentioned in his petition.
    
      3. That the'inventory purports to be an inventory of his real. and personal estate, when, in fact, no real estate was mentioned in it.
