CAUTION. - Zt
WHEREAS a combination of men in tHt ' m! ,,
county have undertaken to enrich th«m- the i
' felvet, by fabricating title, to sundry valuable trads he I
t of land, the property living in New con
York, Philadelphia, London and Pari», for which wh
. tracfts of Is nd large funis of money have been paid for
s to those fraudulent men, by innocent purchafert |
s It is th«gfore just that public information Ihould . a °.
s be given, to the end, that the injured may feekre- i 1 '■
f dress while the risen have property, and are to be
l found. Those who have been discovered are Tru- t(j
e man Harrifon, Joseph Witcomb, said now to re- th( |
i- fije in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and dit
several othert who go under fictitious names. It it t |, {
■- supposed that the lands offered fcr sal« on thole fa- dir
>f bricated titles, are at lead worth fifty thousand ed
I- dollars. Such ai we have aflual knowledge of are the
>f as follows : Lots No. II and li, Otfego patent, j fuc
thousand acres each, the afiual property of William ,
Deilwyn, now of London ; lots No. 58 and 64, en
_ fame paten* thpuf«id acres each, the property of ivc
Mr. Chaumont, now of Paris, and lames Avenll
and others, ot tMi State. There it some grounds d *
j to suppose that the lands of Richard Wells and
Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their
t management.—'The Printers will do well to give
jg thi« a place in their papers, as well to caution the cu
public against purchafmg those lands, as also to de
• ' prive those men in future from imposing on indivi
duaft, which their education and addrelsJiave en- ; n
abled them to do heretofore. Witcomb hat been f,,
a shopkeeper of some note in this country. fit
The following affidavits will fct in a clear point re
of view the wickeduefs of those men, which when th
the public have perused, will indutc them to ex- hi
cufe the interference of Wm. COOPER.
