An affidavit of claimant has subsequently been exhibited, date 4 th Feb, 1825, stating that he has not sold assigned or conveyed away any property since the 18 th of March, 1818, and the reason why he did not exhibit a schedule of his property prior to 1 st March 1823, is that he was advised not to exhibit one as there had been two or three persons who were in possession of property, who had made application and were rejected on account of the same, he therefore thought it unnecessary to apply, he having some property, affidavits of several creditors exhibit- ing stating sums due to him to the amount of $945. money loaned claimant to pay a debt of long standing, terms not mentioned. $160.

Second Neighbour states that claimant is indebted to many creditors by two bonds for $137.50 each, which are for loans, tho' he is very old, and therefore desired him (being his agent) to make the statement. it is not authori- tized. The affidavit of Philip Danbury to show claimant has stated in his schedule to be indebted $600. is not exhibited.
Claimant aged 62, does not state his family. He says that while he was in the city of New York he examined this case, and am of the opinion that, according to the principles which have governed in previous decisions, the claim ought to be admitted.
