CAUTION.
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.
Otfego, July 28th, 1797.
I Thomas Kelly, of the County of Otfego, hav
ing been led irto an error, by John Witcomb ansl
Truman Harrifon, of the fame County, to sign a
deed to them, for Idt No. 58, Otfego patent, whioh
was the property of William T. Franklin now Mr.
Chamont's and others ; and further the said Joseph
and Truman did persuade me to do this against my
inclination, which was made out on the icth day
of November, 179.3, or let back two years so as
to bring it to that time ; and fuhher the name of
Pardon Starks to that deed was a fi&itioift nam?,
there being no such person there. To this 1 make
yoluntary oath. THOMAS KELLY.

On the 19th July, 1797, cameperfpnally before

ELIHU PHIMNEY, Justice of the Peace.
On the 18th July, 1797, came before me Jacob
Kibby, a person by me well known and worthy of
good credit, who on his folcmn oath did fay, that
two of the parties abovetnentioned did make ap
plication to him this deponent, some tjnte in the
winter of 1796; to make them a deed for two thou
sand acrtt of land in the Otfgo patent, and pro
mised this deponent a (hare of the profits, on the
sale of said lands, for his so doing and thut they
made application several times for thd fame purpo'.e,
which fervicss this deponent as often refufed, de
claring to them that he had no right to lands, and
coulddo no such thing ; which daring attempt on
this deponent's integrity he had related a*nong his
friends fevfral times, previous to making this affi
