Piatt and upon a reference to tiie schedule, we find it does not effect the property contained therein and it is believrd, that the property situated beyond the limits of this county is equally unincumbered.

The greater part of Mr. Piatt's real property, is situated in the county of Hamilton, and his rents for the la-t year may be safely estimated at 13,000 doU. and for the ensuing year at 0,000.
