WHEREAS a combination of men in t}» county haTe undertaken to enrich th«m felves,by fabricating titles to fundr/ valuable trade of land, the property of gentlemen living in New York, Philadelphia, London and Paris, fqr which traits of lend large funis of money have been paid to those fraudulent men, by innocervt purthafers • It is therefore just that public information should be given, to the end, that the injured may seek re dress while the men have -property, and are to be found. Those who have been discovered are Tru man Hdrrifon, Joseph Witcomb, said now to re side in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and several other! who go under fiflitious names. It is supposed that the lauds offered for faleon those fa bricated titles, are at lead worth fifty thousand dollars. Such as we have adual knowledge of are as follows : Lots No. II and It, Btfego patent, thousand acres each, the a&ual property of William Dellwyn, now of London ; lots No. 58 and 64, fame pßtent, thousand acres each, the property of Mr. Chauriiont, now of Paris, and |ames Averill and others, ot this State. There is some grounds to suppose that the lands of Richard Wells and Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their management.The Printers will do well to give thi»a place in their papers, as well to caution the public against purchasing those lands, a 6 also to de prive thoie men in future from imposing on indivi dual, which their education and address have en abled them to do heretofore Witcomb has been a fhopkecper of some note in this country.
