CAUTION.
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.
The following affidavits will fct in a clear point
9f view tin. wickedncfs of those men, which when
the public have perused, will induee them to ex
cuse the interference of Wm. COOPER.

Truman Harrifon, of the fame County, to sign a
deed to them, for lot "o. 58, Otfogo patent, which
was the property of William T Franklin now Mr.
Chamont's and others ; and further the laid Joseph
and Truman did persuade me bo do this against my
inclination, which was made out on the 10th day
of November, 1793, or fef back two years so as
to bring it to that time; and further the name of
