Such is the Condition of the Estate of the deceased for personal property (there being no real Estate nor claims in favour of said decedent) and the Amounts of debts outstand against it so far as the same have came to the hands or knowledge of your memorialist From the above statement it clearly appears that the whole property of this deceased which has been made assets in the hands of your memorialist to be administered is insufficient to satisfy the debts and demands outstanding against it.
Your memorialist therefore prays that he may be allowed to settle the said Estate as insolvent in conforming with the statute in such cases provided that the condition of said estate may be rectified accordingly and that he may have such other and further relief as may be consistent with Justice and equity And your memoralist will pray &c
