CAUTION. ; f
TTHHREAS a combination of men in this m
■»W county have undertaken to enrich them- t/
selves.by fabricating titles to sundry valuable traAa h
of land, the property of gentlemen living in New | c
York, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for which ' *
. traflsof Is rid Urge sums of money have been paid f<
1 to those fraudulent men, by innocent purchasers • •'
s It is therefore just thit public information thoiild a
s be given, to the end, that the injured may seek re- 11
I dress while the naen have property, and are to be
l found. Those who have been difcovered'are Tru- f
e man Harrifon, Joseph Witcomb, said now to re- t
- fide in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and {
several others who go under fiAitious names. It is ,
- supposed that the lands offered for sale on those fa- [ ,
f bricated titles, are at least worth fifty thousand j {
- dollars. Such as we have aflual knowledge of are t
if as follows : Lots No. II and u, Otfegs patent, f
thousand acres each, the aAual property of William
Dellwyn, now of London ; lots No. j8 and 64, 1
- fame patent, thousand acres each, the property of i
Mr. Chaumont, now of Faris, and lames Avenll
and others, ot this State. There is some grounds <
1, to suppose that the lands of Richard Wells and
Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their
t management. —The Printers will do well to give
this a place in their papers, as well to caution the |
, public against purchasing those lands, as also to dc-
prive those men in future from imposing on indivi
duafs, which their education and addrcls have en
abled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has been
a fliopkeeper of some note in this country.
The following affidavits will set in a clear point
of view the wickednefsof those men, whichlwhen
the public have perused, will induer them to ex
cufc the interference of > Wm. COOPER.
