; CAUTION. to ,
r TTTHF.BF.AS a combination of men in this nc ,
1 W county have undertaken to enrich th«m- the
f selves.by fabricating titles to sundry valuable trails he
I of land, the property of gentlemen living in New coi
Yotk, Philadelphia, London and Par», for which wh
.. trails of Isnd large sums of money have been paid lor
s to thoft* fraudulent men, by innocent purchasers ■
s It is therefore jtlft that public information should
s be given, to the end, that the injured may feck re
if dress while the men have property, and are to be
a found. Those who have been discovered are Tru
fe man H.frrUon, Joseph Witcomb, said now to re- (^
i- fide in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly ind di
several others who go under fictitious names. It is jj,
r- iluppofcd that the lands offered fcr sale on those fa- di
3 f bricated titles, are at lead worth fifty thousand e< j
1- dollars. Such as we have aflual knowledge of are th
of as follows; Ltvts No. II and 11, Otfego patent, fu
thenfand acres each, the a&ua! property of William
Dellwyn. now of I.opdon ; lots No. 58 and 64, er
_ fame pitent, tkoufand acres each, the property of iv
Mr. Clfaumont, now of Pari<, and James Averill
and others, ol this State. There is some grounds «<
d to suppose that the lands of Richard Welis and
' Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are ui.der their
, t 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 alio to de
l'' prive those men in future from impofiijg on indivi
,C duafs, which their education and address have en- j,
abled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has been {- t
_ a shopkeeper of some note in this country. _ si
The following affidavits will fct in a clear point r

the public have perifed, will induee them to ex- h
cufe the interference of ■ Wm. COOPER.
