argued by Messrs. Joachinssen and Stewart, the
Court stated that the objections had been founded
on ~ant Of clearness in describing his Assets The
petition stated that he held an interest in lot of
land al Bsals, but did not describe in what part Of
the town it lay, but that he intended giving up the
deed to the assignee-t also states that he is pos.
sessed Of certain furniture amounting in value to
about $500. The Court is willing to make every
indulgence in of infsrmaliiy, but the provi-
sicns OF the statute must be complied with, and

signaling the particular house or the street.
