Moore, and from Blair M'Clenachan in his separate capacity j 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 fatisfafforily ascertained, that mr. Blair M'Clenachan, of the said firm, lias eonveyc.l away to mr. yobn 11. Hujlon, his son-in-law, to his daughter, rail's M'Clenachan, and to his son, George M'Clenachan, federal large and valuable real estates, as well as aoufiderable personal property, in the city artd county of Philadelphia, in the county of Lancas ter, in the county of New-Cattle 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 alt persons whamfo evcr, againlt thepurchafe from the said grantees, or either of them, of any portioa of the said real or per sonal property, as the most vigorous measures will without delay be taken to render the fame liable to the jttft demands of the Creditors.

Fijher, J Philadelphia, December 17th, 1J96. 20th.J TO THE PUBLIC. | THE caution introduced into the public prints, I warning all perfonr, against purchaliog from the granteeiof Blair M'Clenachan, any portion of the large, real and petfonal eftatei he conveyed away to his fon-in law and to his children was the result of a deliberation had 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'Cleno- I chan individually. It was no more than an execu j tion of that trust confided in the fubferibers by ! those creditors : a step which it would have been a ' breach of duty and honor in them to have omitterl. i The very ftatcment of the fa£t therefore mutt dif ! pel the imputation that it was either " precipitate lor vindiQive." It originated in a desire to secure J the property of the debtor as a fund for the pay -1 ment of his just debts. It was fancSh'oned by the advice of council as a measure necessary to the fafety of the creditors. If the adveuiferaent has been injurious to Mr. M'Clenachan he owes that injury to his own unjuftiliajjle conduct, not to the fub feribers «vho have merely published the truth in terms as mild as the fatt would admit, and who mean to iuveftigate in a high court of justice the validity of thole purcbafes of which Mr. M'Cle nachan fa confidently speaks. < The fubferibers therefore are bound by a sense of duty to the creditors in general to repeat their eaution against purohafing of those grantees or either of them, and to extend the terms of it to a purchase from any other persons (if such there be) to whem Mr. M'Clenachan may have made similar conveyances.
