more circumstantially informed of the merits of
this bulinefs, by applying to W. Geer may have

Now from tbe liberal and generous support the

this business, William Geer, in conjunction with
Messrs. Reily, Weed and Witmer, is determined
to prosecute and carry it on, with every care, at
tention and dispatch that a zeal to oblige the pub

CAUTION.
WHEREAS a combination men ,in this
county have undertaken to enrich th«m
felves,by fabricating titles to fundr/ valuable trails
of land, the property of gentlemen living in New
Yolk, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for which j
trails of knd large futns of money have been paid ;
to tlu.fi- fraudulent men, by innocent purihafers I
It is therefore just that public information lhould
kt given, to the end, that the injured may feekre
drefs while the raen have property, and are to be
found. Those who have been difcovcred are Tru
man Harrifon, Joseph Witcomb, said now to re
side in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly
several othcrt who go under fictitious names. It is
fuppotcd that the lands offered for faleon those fa
bricated titles, are at least worth fifty thoufjind
dollars. Sufh as we have actual knowledge of are
as follows : Lots No. II and Iz, Otfego patent,
thousand acres each, the adual property of William
Dcllw)Q, now of London ; lots No. 58 and 64,
fame patent, thousand acres each, the property of
Mr. Chaumonf, now of Paris, and James A venll
and others, bl this State. There is*fome 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
this a place in their papers, as well to caution the
public against purchasing those lands, as also to de
prive those men in future from imposing on indlvi
duafs, which their education and address have en
abled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has been
1 a shopkeeper of some note in this country.
The following affidavits will fct in a clear point
of view the wkkfdncfs of those men, which when
tbe public have perused, will induce them to ex
cuse the interference of Wm. COOPER.
Otfego, July »Bth, 17)7.
1 Thomas Kelly, of the Cpunty of Otfego, hav
ing been led into an error, by John Witcomb and
Truman Harrifon, of the fame County, to sign a
deed to them, for lot No. 58, Otfego patent, which
was the property of William ,T Franklin now Mr.
Chamont's and others; and further the laid Joseph
and Trumaa did perfttade me to do this against my
inclination, which was made out on the icth day
of November, 1793, or set back t,wo years so as
to bring it to that time ; and further the name of
s Pardon Starks to that deed was a fictitious name-,
there being;no such perlou there, To this I make
voluntary oath. THOMAS KELLY.

On the lßlh July, 1797, came before me Jacob

two of the parties abovementioncd did make ap
plication to him this deponent, some time in the
winter of 1796, to make them a deed for two thou
sand acres of land in the Otego patent, and pro
mised this deponent a share of the profits, on tha
sale of said lands, for his so doing and th t they
made application several times for the fame purpo e,
which fervicas this deponent as often refufed, de
claring to them that he had no right to lands, and
coulddo uo such thing ; which daring attempt 011
this deponent's integrity he had related a-nong his

r HE SUBSCRIBER having been appointed by
the Envoy Extraordinary and Miniller Pleni
potentiary of his Britannic Nlajefty, General Agent
for atftlUng Brilifh creditors, and such particular ar
gent* as they may fpetially authorize, in prosecuting
their claims before the cwmmiflioners for carrying in
to efFett the sixth article ol the Treaty ofAmity, Com
vurct and Navigation between this Britannic Maje/ly and
the United States of America, hereby gives notice that
he has opened h»s office at his house the south east
corner of Chefnut and fifth ftreeti, Philadelphia,
where he is ready to receive all ciaims or inttru&ions
for claims with the vouchers aud documents thereof,
for the purpoie 0i bringing forwatd the fame agree
ably so the rules and outers which the boaid may
think proper to prescribe.
And as it will be for the interest of all coueerned,
that the several claims be so (fated, and support
ed, as to prevent the delay which would ariie from
the necelfity of obtaining further information, of ad
ditional materials,from per(o«s residing at a distance,
the general agent rhinks.it his duty to add, (for tbe
direction chiefly of those, who, not having employ
ed particular agents, may leave the profccution of
their claims to his charge and management] that all
such claims ought in particular to set forth—
iff. The proper description and (itoation df the
oreditor or claimant, vnd original debtor, refpeft
ively.
2d. The date andoature of the original contractor
debt.
3d. When, in what warmer, and to what extent,
the creditor or claimant w<s prevented or impeded,
by the provision, operation or deleft of law, the
dccifionsand practice of courts, or reflraint of exe
cution, from recovfcring payment of the debt in
queftioiK t
4th The loss and damage incurred or sustained,
in consequence of such impediments, whether the
fame may have arisen from tbe infolveuey, change of
situation, or dearh of the debtor, the loss of legal
remedy from laple of t»me, or othe/caufea impairing
the yalue and leeurity of the debt, which would not
have so operated if such impediments had notcxiAed.
And sth. The particular grounds and reasons on
which the claimant maintains, in tbe terms of the
treaty, that " by the ordinary course of judicial pro
ings, the creditor cannot now obtain and a&ually
nave and receive full and adequate compensation* for
the lofifes and damages so fuiiaiued.
The general agent thinks it his duty further to fug
ged that the several claims ought to be accompanied
and supported by the affidavits of the claimants duly
sworn and regularly attefled', both as to ihe txiftence
of the debts claimed, and such other circumfhnces
as may be within their own knowledge refpcttively.
A«id wherever the claimants in (fating the nature of
their evidence (which mull in every inlfance be the
belt of which the cafe r* capable) have occasion to
refer to the testimony of witnesses, it will be proper
to apprifcthe general agent of the names and placet
