"Owen Devlin, an insolvent, was opposed by Mr. Power, on the ground of suppression of property. The case had been gone into on that day fortnight, when it was adjourned, in order to allow the insolvent an opportunity of coming to some arrangement with his creditors. As he had not made any attempt to do so, they were again prepared to go on with the case. The total amount of his debts was about £200, and they alleged that he could easily liquidate the entire sum if he gave up certain lands which they were prepared to prove he held in the county of Sligo, and the sale of which would be more than sufficient for the purpose. After some further observations, the case was adjourned for a fortnight. [Freeman's Journal - Thursday 09 May 1839​]." ^[3]
