WHEREAS Doctor John Hunt, of New-jersey,
son of John Hunt, deceased, late Agent of tae
West-Jersey Society, and purchaser of a propriety or
24th part of Eaft-ferfey, hath, 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 controls, as heir at law to his father, rejec
ting the laid propriety ; —by which means unwary
persons may be drawn into expences and trouble, for
which they can have no confick ration 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-fixlh part of the laid 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 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
pass the estate to the devifees therein named, for the
payment of his debts and legacies, totally excluding
his son, Doctor 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 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 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 revolve the said Power, and forbid all per
sons posreffing or cutting timber off any of said lands
under the said Dodor John Hunt, said Ball, or —
other person ; and do give this notice to all trefp
ers on the lands of the said Society, that I shall pr
cute them with the utmost severity of the law.'
collectors of taxes in New-jersey will be pleafec
inform me, by letter from time to time, what e
taxes are, due from said lands, and they Shall be p
so as to save the property from being plundered
destroyed for very trifling films.
