CAUTION.
WHEREAS very Urge and heavy debts are justly
due and owing from mefirs. Bla;r M'CUnachan and
Patrick Meore, of the city of Philadelphia, merchants,
trading under the Brm of Blair M'Clenachan and P.
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.

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.
