TO THE PUBLIC.
THE caution introduced into the public prints,
rnds, warnirrg all persons agaisft purchasing from the
1 the grantees ?f Blair M'Clenachan, any portion of the
™V?' l sr g f ■ real snd P ei f° nal estates he conveyed away to
r U his fon-in law and t» hi» children was the result of
tied a a deliberation had upon the fubjedt by a general and
numerous meeting of the creditors as well of Blair
ortei M'Clenachan and P. Moore a* of Blair M'Clena
g'atit chan individually. It was no more than an execu
tion of that trust confided in the fubferibers by
ftjnct those creditors: a step which it would bave been a
s breach of duty and honor in them to have omitted.
The very ftatcment of the fa& therefore mud dis
pel the imputation that it was eithfcr " precipitate
. or viadidlive." It eriginated in a desire to secure
the property of the debtor as a fund for the p*y
r ment of his just debts. It was fanflioned by the
advice ot council as a measure ntcejary to the fafety
of the creditors. If the advertilement has been
down injurious to Mr. M'Clenachan he owes that injury
ed in j 0 y s own unjuftiliable conduct, not to the iub«
If' fctibers who have merely publi(h«d the trutli in
terms as mild as the fadt would admit, and whe
ine y mean to investigate in a'high court of justice the
Eittes. validity of thole purchases ef whieh Mt. M'Cle
nachan so confidently fpeakl.
'• The fubferibers therefore are bound by a sense
of doty to the creditors in general to repeat their
caution against purahafing of those grantees or
either of them, and to extend the terms of it to a
' their purchase from any other persons (if such there be)
pnCeS . to whom Mr. M'Clenachan may have made fimtlar
