CAUTION. "
WHEREAS a combination of men in this m
county hare undertaken to enrich tham- , ih
felve»,by fabricating titles to sundry valuable trads h
of land, the ptopevty of gentlemen living in New ci
Yoik, Philadelphia, London and Paris, lor which ) «
trail-* of hnd large funis of money have been paid | »
to those fraudulent men, by innocent purchafcrs i' (
It is therefore just that public information should 2
be £iven, to the end, that the injured may fetk re- 1
dress while the na<fcn have property, and are to be t
found. Those who have bein discovered arcTru- ' #
mnn Harrifon, Joseph Witcomb, said now to re-
I fide in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and
j several others who go under fictitious names. It is
■ supposed that the lands offered fcr falcon those fa-
f bricated titles, are at lead worth fifty thousand e
■ doli&rs. Such as we have a&ual knowledge of are t
i as follows ; Lots No. II and la, Otfego patent, j f
thousand acres each, the ailual property of William I
Dellwyn, now of London ; lots No. 58 and 64. c
fame patent, thousand acres each, the property of i i
Mr. Chaumont, now of Paris, and James Averill
and other*, of tkii- State. There is some grounds c
to suppose that the lands of Richard Wells and
' Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their ; j
management. —The Printers will do well to give
£ this a place in their papers, as well to caution the ■
L ! public against purchasing those lands, as also to de- (
9 prive those men in future from imposing on indivi-
C dusfs, which their education and address have en- j
übled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has been
a ftiopkeepcr of some note in tfiis country.
The following affidavits will fct in a dear point
of view the wick#dnefs of those men, which when
the publifc have peruf' d, will induce them to ex
cuse the interference of Wm. COOPER.
