CAUTION.
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. Witcomb has been
a Ihopkeeper of some note in this tountry.
The following affidavits will fct in a clear point
of view tht wickedness of those men, which whan
the public have perused, will induce them to ex
cuse the interference of Wm. COOPER.
Otfego, July 28th, 17^7.
I Thomas Kelly, of the County of- Otfego, hav
ing been led into an error, by John Witcomb and
Truman Harrifon, of the fame County, to iign a
deed to them, for lot No. 58, Otfego patent, which
was the property of William T. Franklin now Mr.
Chamont's and others ; »nd further the said Joseph
and Truman did persuade me to do this against my
inclination, which was made out on the leth day
of November, 1793, or set back two years so as
to bring it to that time ; and further the name of
Pardon Starks to that deed was a fictitious name,
there bciag no-inch perton there. To this I make
voluntary oath. • THOMAS KELLY.

On the 19th July, 1797, came personally before

two of the parties abovementioned did make ap

winter*tof 1796, to make there a deed for tw® tha»-
sand acres of land in the Otego patent, and pro
mised this deponent a fhsre cii the profits, on the
sale of said lands, for his so doing ; and that they
made application fevcral tinftrfor thqfame purpo.e,
which IWrvices this deponent as often refufed, de
claring to them that he had no right to lands, and
eouldao no such thing ; which daring attempt on

for % the.purpofe of bringing forward the fame agree
ably so the rule* and orders which the board may
think proper to prescribe.
And as it will be for the interest of all concerned,
that the several claims be so dated, and support
ed, as to prevent the delay which would arise from
the necefHtyof obtaining further information, or ad
ditional materials,from perlons refidtng at a distance,
the general agent thinks it his duty to add, (for the
direction chiefly of those, who, not having employ
ed particular agents, may leave the prosecution of
their claims to his charge and management) that all
such claims ought in particular to fct forth—
tft. The proper description and fitnation of the
creditor or claimant, end original debtor, reipe&-
ively.
ad. The date andnature of the original contrail or
debt.
3d. When, in what manner, and to what extent,
the creditor or claimant was prevented or impeded,
by the provision, operation or icfett of law, the
decifionsajid practice of courts, or restraint of exe
cution, from leeoveriog payment of the debt in
qucftiorx \
4th The loss and damage incurred or sustained,
in consequence of such impediments, whether the
fame may have arisen from the infolveney, change of
iatuation, or death of the debtor, the loss of legal
remedy from lanfe of time, or othercanfes impairing
the value and lecurityof the debt, which would not
have so operated if such impediments had noiexilled.
And jth.. The particular grounds and reasons on
which the claimant maintains, in the terms of the
treaty, that 44 by the ordinary course of judicial pro

have ami receive full and adequate compensation" for
the lofles and damages so fuftaiued. '
The general agent thinks it his duty further to sug

andfqpponed by the affidavits of the claimants duly
sworn and regularly attefled, both as to theaxifience
of the debts claimed, and such other circumflances
as may be within their own knowledge refpe&ively.
And wherever the claimants in Mating the aature of
