"SEC. 2. That such assignment shall be to a trustee named therein, and shall convey all the estate of the debtor except such as is exempt by the law of his domicile from execution and liability for his debts, and shall be for the equal benefit of all his creditors, except such as are hereinafter prohibited or may be with preference hereinafter allowed. It shall contain a list of the names and residences of all his creditors and a schedule of his property exempt and unexempt from execution, and the amount due to each | creditor. It shall also contain a statement of the liens or other incumbrances upon his property, all of which shall be verified by the oath of the debtor to be correct. "SEC. 3. That such assignment shall not contain any provision for the benefit of a creditor whose debt arose from, or is based upon, in whole or in part, any dealings in futures,' or in goods, commodities, or products embraced by any 'trust.' Such assignments may contain all or any of the following preferences, namely: Debts due the United States, or any State in which any of the property of the debtor is situated, or to the servants or laborers of the debtor. The assignment shall be recorded in full in the office or offices wherein mortgages of said property are, by law, recordable. The fees of the trustee shall not exceed those allowed by law to administrators of the estates of deceased persons in the State of the debtor's residence. "SEC. 4. That any such debtor, after the expiration of six months from the date of the execution of the deed of assignment and the acceptance of the trust by the trustee, may file his petition in the district court of the United States for the district in which he resides, or if he be a resident of the District of Columbia, then in the Supreme Court of said District; or if he be a resident of a Territory, then in the district court of such Territory of the district in which he resides, asking for a discharge from his said debts, as well as those prohibited herein. The petition shall contain a true copy of the deed of assignment, and shall be verified by the oath of the petitioner. "SEC. 5. That the creditors of the debtor shall be made parties defendant and shall have thirty days' notice of the filing of the same, notice to be given as in suits in the circuit courts of the United States, and shall have thirty days thereafter in which to answer said petition. Upon hearing of the petition, if the court is satisfied that the debtor did make an assignment as authorized by this act, and that the same con tained a true and correct list of the names and residences of his creditors, and a full and complete conveyance of all his unexempt property, and that for one year prior to the execution of such assignment no creditor of such debtor had been preferred in any manner, except as authorized by this act, and that no unresisted attachment within that period had been levied upon the property of the debtor, and during said time no other act was done, or suffered to be done, by such debtor, respecting his business or estate, to prevent an equal distribution of his estate among his creditors, or to give to one creditor an advantage over another, shall order and adjudge that such debtor be forever discharged from the payment of the debts mentioned and set forth in the petition, as well as those excluded by the provisions of this act, and such order and adjudication shall be a full, complete, and final discharge of such debtor from the payment of said debts."
