CAUTION.
WHCREA.S a combination of men in tiife
cov.nty hive undertakeu to enrich them- '
ftlves,by ftbrieatisg titles to sundry valuable trails
of land, the property of gentlemen living in New 1
York, Philadelphia, and Paris, for which '
tra<sLs of It nd large sums of money have been paid
to those fraudulent nun, by innocent purchafcrs ■
It is therefore just that public information Ihotild
be given, to the end, that the injured may feekre
drefs while the fnen have property, and are to be
found. Those who hive been diicovered areTru-'
man Harrifon, Joseph Witeomb, fuid now to re-
Cde in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and
several otbcri who go under fiiSlitious names. It is
supposed that the lands offered fcr sale on those fa
bricated titles, are at least worth fifty thousand
dollars. Such as we have aflual knowledge of are
as follows : Lots No. JI and 13, Otfego pMent,
thousand acres each, the aftual property of William
now of London ; lots No. 58 and 64.
fame patent, thousand acres each, the property of
Mr. Chanmoat, now of Paris, and James Averill
and others, oi u* State. There is some grounds
to suppose that the lands of Richard Wells and
Charles Whartpn, of Philadelphia, are under their
management.—* The Printers will do well to give
this a place in their papers, as well to camion the
public against purchasing those lands, as also to de
prive these men in future from impoGng on indivi
duafs, which their education and addrels have en
abled them to da heretofore. Witeomb hat been
a (hopkeeper of some note in this country.
The following affi<}avits will fct in a clear point
of view the wickedneft of those men, which when
the public have perilled, will induce them to ex
tnfe the interference us Wm. COOPER.
Otfego, July 28th, 1797.
1 Thomas Kelly, of the County of Otfejo, hav
ing been led into an error, by John Witeomb and
Truman Harrifon, of the fame County, to sign a
deed to them, for iot No. 58, Otfego patent, which
was the properly of William T. Franklin now Mr.
Chauiont's and
and Truman did persuade nu. to do this against my
inclination, whieh was made out on the :cth day
of November, 1793, or fct back two ) cars so as
to bring it to that time ; and further the name of
Pardon Starlns to that deed was a fictitious namo,
there being no such perlon there. To this I make
voluntary oath. THOMAS KELLY.

On the 19th July, 1797, came personally before
