WHEREAS Dodor John Hunt, of New-Jersey,
son of John Hunt, deceased, late Agent of tee
West-Jersey Society, and purchaser of a propriety or
24th part of East-Jersey, bath, for some time past,
undertaken to dispose of the interests entrusted to the
care of his late father, as his own property, without
the least colour of title; and hath also entered into
sundry contrasts, as heir at law to his father, respec
ting the said propriety ; —by which means unwary
persons may be drawn into expences and trouble, for
which they can have no consideration or future re
compence in law or equity from said lands. And as
I am one of the West-Jersey Society, and have also
purchased of the said John Hunt, deceased, in the
year 1766, one-sixth 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 West-Jersey Society, and his powers are
extinguished by bis death : That the'faid John Hunt,
who died at Winchester, in Virginia, in the year 1778,
made a will, which, by the laws of New-Jersey, will
pass the estate to the devifees therein named, for the
payment of his debts and legacies, totally excluding
his son, Dodor Hunt ; and of course, 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 ofthe West-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 custody in this city,
in shipping lumber to New-York, which I have had
reason to believe has been taken from the timber lands
of the said Society, contrary to the trust I reposed in
him, I do revoke the said Power, and forbid all per
sons possessing or cutting timber off any of said lands
under the said Doctor John Hunt, said Ball, or any
other person ; and do give this notice to all trefpaff
crs on the lands ofthe said Society, that I shall prose
cute them with the utmost severity of the law. The
collectors of taxes in New-Jersey will be pleased to
inform me, by letter from time to time, what the
taxes are, due from said lands, and they shall be paid,
so as to save the property from being plundered and
destroyed for very trifling sums.
