WHEREAS a combination of men in this county have undertaken to enrich thsm felves.by fabricating titles tofundr/ valuable trads of land, tbe property of gentlemen living in New York, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for *hich traiU of la ltd large funis of money have been paid to those fraudulent men, by innocent purchasers ■ It is thertLre just that public information should Ue given, to the end, that the injured may seek re dress while the nsen have property, and are to be found. Those who have be«n discovered are Tru man Harrifon, Joseph Witcomb, saul now to re side in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and several other! who go under fi&itioi.. names. It is supposed that the lands offered ftr falaon those fa bricated titles, are at least worth fifty thousand dollars. Such as we have afiual knowledge of are as follows : Lots No. II and 12, Otfega patent, thrufand acres each,the afltial property of William Dellwyn, now of London ; lots No. 58 and 64, fame patent, thousand acres each, the property of Mr. Chaumonr, now of Paris, and lames Avenll and others, ot this State. There is some grounds to sUppose that the lands of Richard Wells and Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their management.—The Printers will do well to give this a place in their papers, as well to caution the public against purchasing thpfe lands, as also to de prive those men in future from imposing on indivi duafs, which their education and address have en abled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has been a ihopkeep«r of some note in this country. The following affidavits will set in a clear point of view the wickrdnef# of those men, which when the public have perused, will induce them to cx cufc the interference of Wm. COOPER.
