WHEREAS a combination of men in tM. county have undertaken to enrich th«m felve»,by fabricating titles to fundr/ valuable tra&« of land, the piopertyof gentlemen living in New York, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for which tracts of lend large funis of money have been paid to thofc fraudulent men, by innocent purthafers • It is therefore just that public information should be given, to the end, that the injured may foekre drefs while the men have property, and are to be found. Those who have been discovered are Tru man Harrifon, Joseph Witcomb, said now to re side in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and several others who go under fictitious names. It is supposed that the binds offered fcr sale on those fa bricated titles, are at least worth fifty thousand' doliars. Such as we have a<stual knowledge of are as follows : Lots No. II and 12, Otfego patent, thousand acres each, the a<9ua! property of William Pellwyn, now of London ; lots No. 58 and 64, fame patent, thousand acres each, the property of Mr. C'haumont, now of Paris, and James Averill and other., ol this Stmte. There is some grounds to fuppofc that the lands of Richard Wclis and Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their management.—The Printers will do well to give this a place in their papers, as well to caution the public against purchasing thofc lands, as also to de prive those men in future from imposing on indivi duafs, which their education and address have en abled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has been a Ihopkceper of some note in this eountry. The following affidavits will fit in a clear point of view the wick.dnefs of those men,which when the public have prrufed, will induee them to ex cufc the interference of Wm. COOPER.
