CAPTION. WHF.REAS a ccmbination of men in this county have sn.ltrtaken to enrich thtm felves,by fabricating titles to sundry valuable traAs of land, the propertyof gentlemen living 10 New York, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for which trails Of Und large funis of money have been paid to those fraudulent men, by innocent purchasers • It is therefore just that public information (hould be given, to the end, that the injured may feck re-. 1 dress while the men have property, and are to be found. Those who have been discovered are Tr uman Harrifon, Joseph Witcomb, said now to re side in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and ft vera! other! who go under fi&itious names. It is supposed that the lands offered fcr faleon those fa i bricated titles ate at teall worth fifty thousand dollars. Such as we have a<9ual knowledge of are as follows : Lots No. II and 12, Otfego patent, thousand acres eich,thea<9nal property of William Dellwyn, now of London ; lots No. 58 and 64, fame patent, thousand acres each, the property of Mr. Chaumont, now of Paris, and James Averill and others, of this State. There is some grounds ' to suppose that the lands of Richard Wells and ; diaries Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their management.—7lie Printers will do well to give this a place in tjkeir papers, as well to caution the public against surchafiiig those lands, as also to de prive those rru*n in future from imposing on indivi duafs, whicb their education and address have en abled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has been a fhopkeeptr of some note in this country. The following affidavits will fct in a clear point of view wick«dnefs of those men, which when the public have perused, will induce them to ex enfe the interference of Wm. COOPER.
