It's more like they were familiar with the Theory of Moral Sentiments^. This work lays out the foundation of the Wealth of Nations and lays out an explanation of The Invisible Hand. From the Section 'Sixth Sense':
"Hutcheson had abandoned the psychological view of moral philosophy, claiming that motives were too fickle to be used as a basis for a philosophical system. Instead, he hypothesised a dedicated "sixth sense" to explain morality. This idea, to be taken up by David Hume (see Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature), claimed that man is pleased by utility. "
I think this is one of the first places to move away from a labor theory of value to a utility theory of value. I'm a dummy though so who knows.
Edit: Publication on or before 12 April 1759 should have had plenty of time to be read and discussed before the Contract Clause?*
