TO THE PUBLIC.
nd THE caution introduced into the public prints,
warning all persons against j»urcbafiog from the
grantees of Blair M'Clenachan, any portion of the
— large, real and personal estates he conveyed away to
bis fon-in law and to his children the refalt of
j a deliberation had upon the fubjeft by a general and
numerous meeting of the cieditors as well of Blair
M'Clenachan and P. Moore as of Blair M'Clena
chan individually. It was no more than an execu.
tion of that trust confided in the fubferibers by
those creditors s a step which it would have been a
breach of duty and honor in them to have omitted.
The very statement of the fadt therefore must dif.
the pel the imputation that it was either " precipitate
or vindiflive." It originated in a desire secure
the property of the debtor at a fund for the pay.
ment of his just debts* It was fan&ioned by the
advice of council as a measure nectjfary to the fafety
of the creditors. If the advertisement has been
injurious to Mr. M'Clenachan he owes that injury
to his own unjuftifiable conduct, not to the sub»
fcribers who have merely published the truth ia
terms as mild as the f»A would admit, and wh»
mean te investigate in a high court of justice the
validity of those purcbafes of whinh Mr. M'Cle
nachan so confidently fpeskt.
The fubfenbert therefore are bound by a sense
of duty to the creditors in general to repeat their
caution against purehafing of those grantees or
either of them, and to extend the terms of it to a
the purchase from any other persons (if such there be)
m ?" ta whom Mr. M'Clenachan may have made similar
conveyances.
