becoming insolvent, or within two years before presenting the petition

herein, disposed of or made over any part of my property, not exempt by

express provision of law from levy and sale by virtue of an execution,

for the future benefit of myself or my family, or disposed of or made

over any part of my property, in order to defraud any of my creditors;

greater sum than I honestly and truly owed; and that I have not paid,

secured to be paid, or in any way compounded with, any of my creditors,

with a view fraudulently to obtain the prayer of my petition; that I

have not done, suffered or been privy to any act, matter or thing which,

if accomplished, would be ground for withholding my discharge under the

provisions of this act, or invalidate such discharge if granted."
