            And Your Memoralists further represent that the amount of the personal and real estate of said decedent when sold and made assets will be (as appears from the foregoing Statement of the Condition of said Estate) insufficient to pay and discharge the debts and demands outstanding against it. Your memoralists therefore pray that they may be allowed to settle the said Estate as insolvent in conformity with the Statute in such cases provided, that the creditors of said Estate may be notified accordingly, and that they may have such other and further relief as may be consistent with Justice and equity.
