CAUTION. \
WHEREAS a combination of men in this ,
county have undertaken to enrich th«m- t
felves,by fabricating titles to fundi / valuable trads I
of land, the'property of gentlemen living in New j c
Yoik, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for Which 1 <
of hnd large funis of money have been paid 1 1
to those fraudulent men, by innocent purchasers 1
It is therefore just thit public information lhould '•
be given, to-the end, that the injured may seek re- '
drel'j while the men have property, and are to be
found. Those who have bean discovered are Tru
tnan Harrifon, Joseph Witcomb, said now to re
side in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and
several otheri who go under fiflitions names. It Is
supposed that the lands offered fcr faleon-thofe fa- ,
bricated titles, are at lead worth fifty thousand 1
dollars. Such as we have aiftual knowledge of are |
as follows : Lots No. II and IZ, Otfego patent,
thousand acres each, the aiiual property ot William j
Delhlv)!!, row of London ; lots No. 58 and 64, j
fame patent, thousand acres each, the prrperty of
Mr. Chaumont, now of Paris, and lames Avenll
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. —1 he Printers will do well to give
. this a place in their papers, as well to caution the
public against purchasing tHose lands, as also to de- j
' prive those men M future from imposing on indivi
dual, which their education and addrels have en
abled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has been
a shopkeeper of some note in this country.
The following affidavits will'fct in a clear point
of view the wickedness of those men, which whsn
tlje public have perused, will induee them to ex
cuse the'interference of Wm. COOPER.

„ ing been led into-in error, by John Witcomb and

deed to them, for lot No. 58, O'fcgo patent, which
was the property of William 1 Franklin now Mr.
Chamont's and others imd further the said Joieph
and Truman did pcrfuade me to do this against my
inclination, which was made out 011 the icth day
of November, 1793, or set hack two ycats so as
_ to bring it' to that time ; and further the name of

the general agent thinks it his duty to add, (for the
