CAUTION.
r TTTHKREAS a combination of men in this
1 VV county have undertaken to enrich them
r fel ve«, by fabricating titles to fundr/vakiable trails
t of land, the property of gentlemen living in New
York, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for which
. trails of land large sums of money have been paid
1 to those fraudulent men, by innocent purLhafers •
' It >s therefore just that public information should
s be given, to theend, that.thc injured may feekre- ;
f arefs 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
- lide in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and
several othen who go under fictitious names. It is
- supposed that the lands offered for faleon those fa
f britated titles, are at lead worth fifty thousand
■' dollars. Such as we have adtual knowledge of are
1 as follows : Lots No. ir and Iz, Otfego patent,
theufanS acres each, the adtual property of William
Pellwyn,'n»w of London ; lots No. 58 and 64.
fame patent, thousand acrfcs each, the property of j
Mr. C'haumont, uow of Paris, and lames Avenll |
and others, of this State. There foine grounds '
, to fuppof. <l<—c the lands of Richard Wells and I
Charles W harton, of Philadelplria, are under their
t management.—-The Printers will do well to give
this a place in their papers, as welt to caution the
, public purch.ifmg those lands, as also to de
prive those men in future from imposing on indivi
dual, which their education and have en
abled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has been
a shopkeeper of some nore in this country.
The following affidavits will fct in a clear point
of view the wickcdnefs of those men,which wkan
the public have perused, will induee them to ex
tufc the interference of ' ' Wm. COOPER.

, ing been led into an error, by John Witcomb and
Truman Harrifon, of the fame County, to sign a
deed to thetn, for lot No. 58, Oifcgo patent, which 1
- was the property of William T|. Franklin now Mr.
Chamont's and others ; and further the said Joseph 1
and Truman did persuade me to do this ngainft my 1
inclination, which was made out 011 the icth day
of November, 1793, or set back two years so as !
to bring it to that time ; and further the name bf
