'j* TT/HEREAS a combination of men in this 1 J lh VV county have undertaken to enrich th«m- , T selves.by fabricating titles to sundry valuable trad# i 1 ft of land, the property of gentlemen living in New c York, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for which \ «• traSs of hnd large sums of money have been paid f t' to those fraudulent men, by innocent purchalers • i ' « It is therefore just that public information Atotild a * ke given, to the end, that the injured may feekre- ' >' dress while the men have property, and are to be 1 found. Those who have been discovered are Tru- 1 fe man Harrifon, Joftph Witcomb, said now to re- ' 1- flde in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and ' several o'hen who go under fictitious namps. It is f- supposed that the lands offered Icr sale on those fa- j 1 hricated titles, are at least woi th fifty thotiland c 1- dollars. Such as we have knowledge of are , »f as follows : Lots No. II and 11, Otfeg« patent, f, thousand acres each,the a&ual property of William : Dellwyn, i.ow of London ; lots No. 58 and 64, c fame patent, thousand acres each, the property of i' Mr. Chaumont, now of Paris, and lamftsAvenll I and others, ot this State. There is some grounds d 1, to suppose that the lands of Richard Wclis and k _ Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are utv'er their :, management.—The Printers will do well to give b e this a place in their papers, as well to caution the I ■, PuMc against purchnfmg those lands, as also to de- ; Cl e prive those men in future from imposing on indivi- duafs, which their education and addrels have en- • abled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has been a fhopketper of some note in this country.
