CAUTION.
WHEREAS a/fombination of men in this
county have undertaken to enrich th«m
felves.by fabricating titles to sundry valuable trails
of land, the property of gentlemen living in New
Yoik, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for which
trails of land large sums of money have been paid
to those fraudulent men, by innocent parchafers •
It is. therefore just thit public information (hould
ke given, to the end, that the irjured eiay feekre
drefs while the men have property, and are to be
found. TJiofc who have been difcovercd are Tru
man Harrifou, Jofcph Witcomb, said now to re
side in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and
several other; who go under fi&itious names. It i>
supposed that the lands offered fcr sale on those fa
bricated titles, are at lead worth fitty thousand
dollars. Snch as we have afluol knowledge of are
as follows : Lots No. II and 11, Otfego patent,
thousand acres each,the a&ual property ofWilliam
Dellwyn, now of London ; lots No. 58 and 64,
fame patent, thousand acres each, the property of
Mr. Chaumont,' now of Paris, and James Avenll
and others, ot this State. There is fame grounds
to suppose that the lands of Riehard Wells and
Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, areSinder tl—ir
management.—The Printers will do well to.give
this a place in their papers, as well to caution the
public agninft purchasing those lands, as also to de
prive those men in future"from nv.pofmg on indivi
duifs, which their .education and adiliefs have en
abled tliem to do heretofore. Witcomb has been
a Ihopkeepcr of some note in this country.
The following affidavits will set in a clear point
of view the wickedness of those men, which when
the public have perused, will induee them to ex
cufc the interference of Wm. COOPER.
Otfego, July 28th, 17J7.
I Thomas Kelly, of the Crunty of Otfego, hav
ing been led into an error, by John Witcemb and
Truman Harrifon, of .the fame County, to sign a
deed to them, for lot No. 58, Otfego winch
was the property of William T. Franklin now .Mr.
Chamont's and o'hers ; and further the said Joseph
and Truman did putftiade me to do this against my
inclination, which was made out on the icth day
of November, 1793, or set back two years so as
to bring it to that time ; attd further the name of
Pardon Starkstothat deed was a Mitious name-,
there being no fueh perlon there. To this I make
voluntary oath. THOMAS KELLY.
19th July, 1797.
On the 19th July, 1797, came personally before
me, Thomas Kelly, the fubicriber to the above af

ELIHU PHINNEY, Jufticc of-the Peace.
On the 18th July, 1797, came before me Jacob
Kibby, a perlon by me well known and worthy of
good credit, who on his solemn oath did fay, that
two of »he parties abovementioned did make ap
plication to him this deponent, l'ome 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 {hare of the profits, on the
sale of said lauds, for his so doing ; and that they
made application several times for the fame purpole,
which fc;rvices this deponent tts often refufed, de
claring to them that he had no right to lands, and
could do no such thing ; j*'hich daring attempt on
this deponent's integrity he had related a*rong his
friends several tiaies, previous to making this affi
