And whereas it is clearly and fatisfailorily afctrtained, that mr. Blair M'Clenachan, of the said' firm, has conveyed away to mr. John H. Hujion, his son-in-law, to his daughter, miss M'Clenachan, and to his son, George M'Clenachan, fevtral large and valuable real eitates, as well a» eonfiderable personal property, in the city and county of Philadelphia, in the county of Lancal ter, in the county of New-Castle on Delaware, and elsewhere, with a view, as it is apprehended, to de feat the Creditors in the recovery of their just debts.— This is, therefore, to forewarn all perfoas whamfo ever, against the purth afe from the said grantees, or either of tliera, of any portion of the said real orper forial 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 Fitxflmom, Philip Nicklin, S' ' Isaac Vharton, * Committee. William M'Murtrie, Samuel W. Fijher, -J Philadelphia, December 17th, 1796. icth.J 1 < TO THE PUBLIC. r s THE caution introduced into the public prints, e warning all petfonr. against purchaling from «fie grantees of Bliir M'Clenachan, any portion of the large, real and personal estates he conveyed away to hit fon>in law and to his children was the result of a deliberation hid upon the fubjeft by a general and numerous meeting of the creditors as well of Blair M'Clenachan and P. Moore as of Blair M'Clena chan individually. It was no more than an execu tion ef that trull confidad in the fubferibers by those creditors : a (lep which it would have been a s breach of duty and honor in them to have omitte 1. The very statement of the fadt therefore mull dif e pel the imputation that it was either " precipitate 0 or vindidtive." It originated in a desire to fccure r the property of the debtor as a fund for the pjy ment of his just debts. It was fandlioned by the n advice ofcouocil as a measure necejfary to the fafety n of the creditors. If the advertisement has been a l injurious to Mr. M'Clenachan he owes that injury to his own unjaftiliable conduct, not to the fub feribers who have merely publilhsd the truth in _ terms as mild as the would admit, and who mean to investigate in a high court of jtiftice the >. validity of those purchases of which Mr. M'Cle-. nachan so confidently speaks. The fubfcribsrs therefore are bound by a sense of duty to the creditors in general to repeat their eaution again! purohaGng of those .grautees or either of them, and to extend the terms of it ta a purchase from any other perfon6 (if fueh there)le) to whom Mr. M'Clenachan may have made similar conveyances. >0 (Signed) T.
