WffEREAS Doctor John Hunt, of New-Jersey,
son of John Hunt, deceased, late Agent of toe
Weft-Jerley Society, and purchaser of a propriety ot
24th part of Eatt-Jerfey, hath, for some time past,
undertaken to dispose oi the ini rests entrusted to the
care of his late father, as his gwn property, without
the leag colour of title; an&ath also entered into
sundry contrasts, as heir at law to his father, refect -
ting the,laid propriety ; —by which means unwaiy
perfon^ may be drawn into expences and trouble, for
which they can have no configuration or future te
compence in law or equity from said lauds. And as
I am one of the West-Jersey Society, and have aho
purchased of the said John Hunt, deceased, in the
year 1766, one-lixth part of the said propriety, I have
thought proper to give this public caution, and to as
sure the intended purchasers, or tenants under Doc
tor Hunt, that his father was a mere Agent or Attor
ney to the Weft-Jerley Society, and his powers are
extinguished by his death : That the said John Hunt,
who died at Winchester, in Virginia, in the year 1778,
made a will, which, by the laws of New-Jersey, will
pal's the estate to the devifees therein named, tor the
payment of his debts and legacies, totally excluding
his son, Do&or Hunt ; and of courfc, that he cannot
legally rent or convey any part of the premises above
described. And whereas, being the only person in
America interested in the estate of the Weft -Jersey So
ciety, I lately gave a Power of Attorney to Joseph
Ball, of Batfto iron-works, to take care of the tim
ber lands belonging to said Society, and it now ap-'
pearing to me that the said Ball has been concerned
with sundry persons, who are in cuttody in this city,
in shipping lumber to New-York, which f have had
re ifon to believe has been taken from the timber lauds
of the said Society, contrary to the trust I reposed in
him, I do revoke th: said Power, and forbid all per
sons poffefling or cutting limber off any of said lauds
under the said Doctor John Hunt, said Ball, or any
other person ; and do give this notice to all trefpaG
ers on the lands of the laid S< ciety, that I ffiall prose
cute them with the utmost severity of the law. The
collectors of taxes ,in N< w-Jersey jvifl be pieafed to
inform me, by letter from time to time, what the
taxes are, due from said lands,, nd they shall be paid,
so as to save the property from being plundered and
dellroycd for very trifling sums.
