THE caution introduced into the pubh'c prints, warning all pcrfonr. agaioft purchasing from the grantees of Blair M*Clenachan, any portion of the real and pet fonal estates he conveyed away to hi# fon-in law and to his children was the result of a deliberation had upen the fubjeft by a general and numerous of the creditors as well of Blair M'Cletiachan aiftl P.

The very statement of, the therefore mult dif : pel the imputation that it was either " precipitate , or It originated in a detire to fccure ( th« property of the debtor as a sand for the pay . ment of his just debts.
