CAUTION.
WHF.REAS a combination of men in thi<
county have undertaken to enrich th.m
felves,by fabricating titles to sundry valuable tradi
of land, the property of gentlemen living in New
Yoik, Philadelphia, London ana Paris, for which
trails of Und large sums of money have been paid
to thf.fe fraudulent men, by innocent puriiafers ■
It is therefore just that public information fhotild
begivai, to the end, that the injured may ftckre
dreft while the men have property, and are to be
found, fhofe who have been discovered are Tru
nin Harrifon, Joseph Witcomb, said now to re
side in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and
fevcral others who go under fi&itious names. It is
supposed that the lands offered fcr faler.n those fa
bricated titles, are at least worth fifty thousand
dollars. Suchtas we have aflual knowledge of are
as follows : Lots No. 11 and la, Otfegu patent,
thousand acres each, the ailual property of William
Dellwjn, now of London ; lots No. 58 ami 64,
si.me petcne, thonfand acres each, the property of
Mr. Chamuont, now of Paris, and ;amcs ATeriU 1
and others, ot tlai> State. There is some grounds
to suppose that the lands of Richard Wells and
Charles Whaj-ton, of Philadelphia, are under their
management—The Printers will do well to give j
this a place in their papers, as well to caution tlv:
public against purchasing those lands, as also to de
prive those men in future from imposing on iftdivi- 1
du.ifs, which their education and address have en- i
abled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has becu
a shopkeeper of some note in this country.
The following affidavits will set in a clear point
of view the wickedness of those men,which wh.n
the public have perused, will indute them to ex
cufc the interference of Wm. COOPER.
Otfego, July 28th, 17j7.
I Thomas Kelly, of the County of Otfego, hiv
ing been led into an error, by John Witcomb and
-1 ruman Harrifon, of the fame County, to sign a
deed to them, for lot N0..58, Otfego patent, which
was the property of William T Franklin now Mr.
Chamont's and others; and further the said Joseph
Truman did perfuademc to do,this against my
inclination, which was made out on the iith day
of November, 1793, or set back two years so is
to bring it to that time ; and further the.name ol
Pardon Starks to that deed was a fc&itious nam--,
there being no such perlon there. To I make

sand acres of land in the Otego patent, and pro
mised this deponent a fliare of the profits, on the
sale of said lands, for his so doing ; and tint they
made application fevcral times for the fame purpo>,
which fervicas this deponent as often refufed, de- |

that the several claims be so ftatcd, and support.
Ed, as to prevent the delay which would arile irom
the neceffityof obtaining further Information, or ad
