Those who have been difcovsred aire Tru m3n Harrifon,. Joseph Witcomb, said now to rc fidc in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and several otheri who go upder fiilitious names. It is supposed that the lands offered fcr sal« on those fa bricated titles, are at lead* worth fifty thousand dollars. Such as we have adtual knowledge of are as follows : Lots No. II and la, Otfega patent, thousand acres each, the arflual property of William Dellwjn, 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, 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 those lands, as also to de prive those men in future from imposing on indivi dufifs, which their education and address have en abled them t«do heretofore.
