Blair M'Clenachan and 1 Patrick Miore, of the city of Philadelphl2, merchants, trading under the firm of Blair M'Clenachan and P... Moore, and from Blair M'Clenachan in his feparatc capaaity ; to which, by the laws of the land, all the joint as well as separate property of the said Gentle men, is, and ought to be, liable. And whereas it is clearly and fatisfarforily ascertained, that mr. Blair M'Clenachan, of the said firm, lias conveyed away to mr. John H. llujlon, his son-in-law, to his daughter, miss M'Clenachan, and to his son, George M'Clenachan, fevtral large and valuable real estates, as well as eonfiderable perfocal property, in the city and county of Philadelphia, in the county of Lancai ter, in the county of New-Caftie on Delaware, and elsewhere, with a view, as it is apprehended, to de- I feat the Creditors in the recovery of their just debts.— This is, therefore, to forewarrt all peribns whoirifo ever, against the purchase from the fiid grantees, or either of them, of any portion of the said real orper fonal property, as the most vigorous measures will without delay be taken to render the fame liable to the just demands of the Creditors. By order of the Creditors. Thomas Fitxftmons, "J Philip Nickhn, / Isaac i r barton, V Committee. William M'Murtrie, I Samuel W. Fijher, -J Philadelphia, December 17th, 1796. joth.J TO THE PUBLIC. THE caution introduced into the public prints, warning all perfonn agaiaft purchaling from the grantees of Blair M'Clenachan, any portion of the large, real and personal estates fee couveyed away to his fon-in law and to his children was the result of a deliberation had upon the fubje£t by a general and numerous meeting of the creditors as well-os Blair M'Clenachan and P. Moore as of Blair M'Clsna chan individually. It was no more than an execu tion of that trust con fid in the fubfcribeis by those creditors: a step which it would hava been a breach of duty and honor in them to have omitted. The very statement of the fadt therefore must dis pel the imputation that it was either " precipitate or vindidive." It originated in a defne to secure the property-os the debtor as a sand for the pay ment of his just debts. It was fan&ioned by the advice of council as a measure nectjfary to the fatety of the creditors. If vhe advertifemcnt has been injurious to Mr. M'Clenachan he owes that injury to his own unjuftiiiable conduit, not to the sub scribers who have merely published the truth terras as mild as the fadf would admit, and who mean to investigate in a high court of justice the validity of th.)(e purchases of which Mr. M'Cle naehan so confidently (peaks. The fiibfcribers therefore are bound by a sense of duty to the creditors in general to repeat their eaution against purohaling of those grantees or either of them, and to extend the terms of it te a purchase frora any other persons (if such there be) to whom Mr. M'Clenachan fnay have made similar conveyances.
