Head Matter:
In the matter of Joseph Williams, an insolvent debtor.
AN application was made in behalf of the insolvent, that he be brought up to obtain his discharge under the “ Act for the relief of debtors, “ with respect to the imprisonment of their per- “ sons.”
Schoonhoven for the creditors raised. three objections : 1st, That notice was not served on one particular creditor who resides in Massachusetts, nor was there any affidavit that he could not be found; 2d, The sum he is charged with on execution is not mentioned in the petition; 3d, The inventory-purports by its caption to be an inventory of real and of personal estate, but no real estate is after-wards mentioned.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
All the objections are trivial. A person out of the State is to be considered as to the purpose of a service under this act, as not to be found. Assignment ordered.
