to tliufr fraudulent men, by innocent
It i' therefore juil that public information should a °. :
be given, tu the end, thattht injured may feekre- lhl
dress while the men hava property, and are to be
found, Those who have been discovered are Tru-
nun Harrifon, Joseph Witcoml/, said now to re- 1
fide in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and jj,
fcveral othen who go under fictitious names. It is t j, (
supposed that thejnnds offered fcr faleon those fa- di
bri.ated titles, are at lcaft worth fifty thousand ed
dollars. such as we have a&ual knowledge of are ih<
as follows : J.ots No. II and 11, Otfe/o patent, fui
thousand acres each,the actual property of "William
Dellwyn, new of London ; lots No. 58 and 64, er<
fame putcnr, thousand acres each, the property of ivi
Mr. Cliaumont, now of Paris, and-lames AveriU
and others, ot thin State. There is some gronfids
to suppose that the lands of Hi-hard Wells and
Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their
r 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
[ prire those men in future from on indivi
dusfs, which their education and addrels have en- ; a
abled them to do heretofore. Wiuomb has been f a
a ihopkeeper of feme note in this tountry. fn
The following affidavits will set in a,clear pcint te

the public have perused, wi'l induce them to ex- h;
cufe the ir.t»i{erence of Wm. COOPER.
