ABSTRACT OF THE INSOLVENT LAW OF MASSACHUSETTS, 1838.

1. The law provides that any debtor, whose debts amount to 500 dollars, may apply to the judge of probate, or any master of chancery, setting forth his inability to pay his debts, and willingness to assign all his property for that purpose.

2. Upon such application, the judge is required to appoint a messenger to take possession of the debtor's estate, real and personal, except such as by law is exempted (see Revis. Stat.) from attachment, and keep until assignees be appointed.

3. No property to be delivered until a meeting of the creditors to choose assignees.

4. The judge is to attend such meeting and allow such claims as shall then be proved; the creditors to choose assignees, but if they are unable, by the judge.

5. The Judge shall convey to the assignees all the estate of the debtor, except that exempted by law, with his deeds, books, and papers relating thereto. Attachments or assignments are void after the first publication of notice by the messenger.

6. The debtor is to make oath relating to the disposal of his estate, and all debts due him.

7. The debtor shall be allowed a sum for the support of himself and family, for two months, not exceeding the rate of three dollars per week for each member, as he may think proper.

8. Within three months another meeting of the creditors is to be held, and those who have not proved their claims, may do so. The debtor on making oath that he has delivered the messenger and assignees all his estate, of what kind soever, the judge, being satisfied, shall grant him a discharge.

9. But if one half in number or in value of the creditors, not less than 50 dollars, shall object to hig discharge, it shall not granted unless by the Supreme Judicial Court, on appeal.

10. Every debtor so discharged shall be allowed 5 per cent on the net produce of all his estate, in case such net produce shall le sufficient to pay his creditors the amount of 50 per cent, not exceeding in the whole 500 dollars.

11. When the debtor is either unable or unwilling to pay his just debts in full he may be compelled to assign his property, if indebted to the amount of 100 dollars to one creditor.
