CAUTION.
WHEREAS a combination of men in thu
county have undertaken to enrich th«m
felvcs.by fabricating titles tofundrj valuable trails
of land, the property of' gentlemen living in New
York, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for which
traAs of ltnd Urge fumsof money have been paid
to those fraudulent men, by innocent purchasers
It is therefore just that public information should
be. given, to the end, that the injured may seek re
dress while the men have property, and are to be
found. 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. Witcomb has been
a IhopkeepeV of some note in this eountry.
The following affidavits will fct in a clear point
of view the wickedness of those men, which when
the public have pernfed, Will indues them to ex
tufe the interference of Wm. COOPER.
Otfego, July aßth, 1797.
1 Thomas Kelly, of the County of Otfego, hav
ing been led into an error, by John Witcomb and
Truman Harrifon, of the fame County, to sign a
deed to them, for lot NOl 58, Otfego patent, whieh
was the property of William T. Franklin now Mr.
Chamont's aud 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, 1793, or f«t back two years so as
to bring it to that time ; and further the naim ps
Pardon Starks to that deed was a fiAitious namo,
there being no such perlon there. To this I make
voluntary oath. THOMAS KELLY.

f sand acres of land in the Otego patent, and pro-
E mifed this deponent a fharc of the profits, on the
- sale of said lands, for his so doing ; and th.it they
madeapplicationfcVeral times for the fame purpoie,
which fervtcas this deponent as often refufed, de
c claring to them that he had no right to lands, and

lo effeft the sixth article of the Treaty of Amity, Co7U
mcrce and Navigation betwt4n his Britannic kajejly and
the United States of America, htreby #iv«s notice that
he has opened his office at his houjc the south east

where he Is ready to receive all claims or inliruftions
for claims with the vouehtrs aud documents thereof,
for the purpose of bringing forward the fame agrec~
ably so the rules and orders whicbthe board may
think proper to prefenbe*
And as it will be foe the interest of all €o*««riied,
that the fcveral claims be so itattd, and support
ed, as to prevent the delay which would arise from
the ncceflity of obtaining further information, or ad
ditional materials,from .periods reGdisg at a diitance,
the general agent thinks it his duty to add, (for the
direction chiefly of those, who, not having employ
ed particular agents, may leave the prosecution of
thrir claims to his charge and management) that all
such claims pught in particular to fci forth—
tft. The proper defcripiion and fitnation of the
creditor or claimant, end original debtor, refpe&-
ively.
ad. The date andnature of the original contrast or
debt.
3d. When, .in what meaner, and to what extent,
the creditor or elaimant was prevented or impeded,
by the provi&on, operation or defetfc of law, the
decifionsand practice of courts, or restraint of exe
cution, from recovering payment of the debt in
qucft'ion.
4th. Tbelofsand damige incurred or sustained,
in consequence of such impediments, whether the
fame may have arisen from the infolveney, change ot
or death o< ths debtor, the loss of legal
remedy from lapse of time, or othercaufes impairing
the value and feeurityof the debt, which would not
have so operated ii such impediments had notexiflcd.
And sth. The particular grounds sod reasons on
which the claimant maintains, in the terms of the
treaty, that " by the ordinary course of judicial pro
ings, the creditor cannot now obtain and actually
have and receive suM and adequate eompenfation" for
the losses and damages so fuftaiucd.
The general agent thinks it his duty further to fug
ged that the fcveral claims ought to be accompanied
and supported by the affidavits of the claimants duly
sworn and regularly attellcd, both as to the exiftencs
of the debts claimed, and such other circumfUnccs
as may be within ihcir own knowledge refpeftively.
And wherever the claimants in Rating the nature of
their evidence (whiohmuftin every inftanee be the
