The  debtor  shall  then  be  allowed  to  amend  and  correct  his  schedule  of
creditors,  and  shall  take  and  subscribe  an  oath  before  the  judge,  which
shall  be  certified  by  him  and  filed  in  the  case,  in  substance  as  follows :  —

♦'  I do  swear  that  the  account  of  my  creditors  contained  in  the  schedule  made

and  signed  by  me  and  now  on  file  in  court  is  in  all  respects  just  and  true,  according
to  my  best  knowledge  and  belief.  And  I  do  further  swear,  that  I  have  delivered  to
,  the  messenger,  all  my  estate,  (excepting  such  parts  thereof  as  are  by  law  ex-
empted from  attachment,  and  such  as  have  been  necessarilj'  expended  for  the  support
of  myself  and  my  family,)  and  all  my  books  of  account  and  papers  relating  to  my  said
estate,  that  were  within  my  possession  or  power  when  the  same  were  demanded  of  me
by  the  messenger ;  that  I  have  delivered  to  my  assignee  all  such  of  my  said  estate,
books,  and  papers,  as  have  since  come  to  my  possession ;  r.nd  that  if  any  other  estate,
effects,  or  other  things,  which  shall  or  ought  to  be  assigned  and  delivered  to  the  as-
signee, shall  hereafter  come  to  my  knowledge  or  possession,  I  will  forthwith  disclose
or  deliver  the  same  to  him.  And  I  do  further  swear,  that  there  is  not  any  part  of  my
estate  or  effects  made  over  or  disposed  of  in  any  manner  for  the  future  benefit  of  my-
self or  my  family,  or  in  order  to  defraud  my  creditors."

Sect.  73.  When  a  failure  to  call  or  hold  a  second  or  third  meeting
within  the  time  prescribed  occurs,  the  court  may,  upon  the  petition  of
an  interested  party,  order  such  meeting  with  like  effect  as  to  the  validity
of  the  proceedings  as  if  the  meeting  had  been  duly  held.
