That the petitioner is justly and truly indebted to the consenting creditors, in sums which amount, in the aggregate, to two-thirds of all the debts, which the petitioner owed, at the time of presenting his petition, to creditors residing within the United States. 2. That he has honestly and fairly given a true account of his property. 3. That he has, in all things, conformed to the matters required of him by this article.
