WHEREAS very hrge and heavy debts are j'iftly doe and'owing from messrs. Bla '.r M'Clenachan, and Patrick Mtore, of the city of PhihdfTphl2, merchants, trading under the irm of Blair M'Clenachan and P. Moore, and from Blqir M'Clenachan in his separate capacity ; to which, by the laws of the land, all the joint aj weli as separate property of the said Gentle men, is, and ought to be, liable. And whereas it ta clearly and fatisfa&orily afcertaifted, that mr. Blair M'Clenachan, of the said firm,, ha? conveyed away to mr. "John 11. Kujlon, His son-in-law, to his daughter, miss M'Clenachan, and to his son, George M'Clenachan, several large and valuable real estates, as well as coufidcrable perfoual property, in the city and county of Philadelphia, in theeounty of Lancas ter, in the county of New-Castle on Delaware, and elfewhwe, with a view, as it is appreTiended, to de feat the Creditors in the recevery of their jufl debts.— This is, therefore, to forewarn all perfo.is whomso ever, agaioft the purchase from the said grantees, or either of them, of any portion of the said real or per sonal preperty, as the most vigorous rneafures will without delay be taken to rendsr the fame liable to the jufl demands of the Creditors. By order of the Creditors. Thomas Fit*./imons, PhUip Nicklin, I Isaac Vharton, Committee. William M'Mnrtrie, 1 Samuel ff r . Fijber, J Philadelphia, December 17th, 1796. »oth.s TO THE PUBLIC. THE caution introduced into the puWic prints, warning all perfonr. against purchafnig from the grantees of Blair M'Clenachifi), any portion of the large, real and personal estates he conveyed away to hie Con-in law and to his children was the result of a deliberation had upon tlie fubje£t by a general and numerous meeting of the creditors as well cf Glair M'Clenachan ami P. Moore as of Blair M'Clens chan individually. It was no more than an execu tion of that trust confidad in the fubk-ribere by those creditor» : a step which it would Jiave been a breach of duty and honor in them to have omitted. The very ftatenacnt of the fatt therefore must dis pel the imputation that it was either " precipitate or vindi&ive." It originated in a desire to feeure the property of the debtor as a sand for the pay ment of his jaft debts. It was fanflioned by the advice of council as a measure nccejfary to the fafety of the creditors. If the advertisement ha« been injurious to Mr. M'Clenachan he owes that injury to his own unjuftiliable conduit, not to the sub scribers .vho have merely puUithed the truth, in terras as mild as the fact would admit, and who mean to invefligate in a court of justice the validity of those purchaseS of which Mr.. M'Cle nachan so confidently speaks. The fubfenbers therefore are bound by a sense of duty to the creditors in general to repeat their eaution against purchasing of those grautees or either of them, and to extend the terms <jf it to a pnrchafe from any other persons (if such there be) tp wbem Mr. M'Clenachan may have made similar conveyances.
