WHF.REAS a eombinaiion of men in this county have undertaken to enrich tham felves.bjr fabiicating titles to sundry valuable trads of land, the property of gentlemen living in New Yotk, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for which trails of hod large sums of money have been paid to th»fe fraudulent men, by innocent purchasers • It is therefore just thrt public information should We given, to the end, that the injured may feckrc drefs while the men have property, and are to be found. Those who have be«u discovered are Tru man Harrifon, Joseph Witcomb, said now to re side in the county ofSaratoga ; Thomas Kelly and fevcral others who go under fictitious names. It is supposed that the lands offered f r sale on those fa bricated titles, are at lead worth fifty thousand dollars. Such as we have ailual knowledge of are as follows : Lots No. II and l», Otfego patent, thousand acres each, the a<3ual property of William Dellwyn, 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 tlsii State. There is some grounds to suppose that the lands of Richard Welis and Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their management.—The Winters witl do well to giv« this a place in their papers, as well to caution the public against purcbafing those lands, as also to de prive those men in future from imposing oh indivi dual, which their education and address have en abled them to do heretofore.
