CAUTION. \
WHEREAS a combination of men in this ,
county have undertaken to enrich th«m- t
felves,by fabricating titles to fundi / valuable trads I
of land, the'property of gentlemen living in New j c
Yoik, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for Which 1 <
of hnd large funis of money have been paid 1 1
to those fraudulent men, by innocent purchasers 1
It is therefore just thit public information lhould '•
be given, to-the end, that the injured may seek re- '
drel'j while the men have property, and are to be
found. Those who have bean discovered are Tru
tnan Harrifon, Joseph Witcomb, said now to re
side in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and
several otheri who go under fiflitions names. It Is
supposed that the lands offered fcr faleon-thofe fa- ,
bricated titles, are at lead worth fifty thousand 1
dollars. Such as we have aiftual knowledge of are |
as follows : Lots No. II and IZ, Otfego patent,
thousand acres each, the aiiual property ot William j
Delhlv)!!, row of London ; lots No. 58 and 64, j
fame patent, thousand acres each, the prrperty of
Mr. Chaumont, now of Paris, and lames Avenll
and others, ot this State. There is some grounds
to suppose that the lands of Richard Wells and
Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their
management. —1 he Printers will do well to give
. this a place in their papers, as well to caution the
public against purchasing tHose lands, as also to de- j
' prive those men M future from imposing on indivi
dual, which their education and addrels have en
abled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has been
a shopkeeper of some note in this country.
The following affidavits will'fct in a clear point
of view the wickedness of those men, which whsn
tlje public have perused, will induee them to ex
cuse the'interference of Wm. COOPER.

„ ing been led into-in error, by John Witcomb and

deed to them, for lot No. 58, O'fcgo patent, which
was the property of William 1 Franklin now Mr.
Chamont's and others imd further the said Joieph
and Truman did pcrfuade me to do this against my
inclination, which was made out 011 the icth day
of November, 1793, or set hack two ycats so as
_ to bring it' to that time ; and further the name of

And as "it will be for the interest of all coueerned,
that the several claims be so Itated, and fiipport
ed, as to prevent the delay which would arise trom
the necefTtty of obtaining further information, or ad
ditional materials,from persons residing at a diOance,
the general agent thinks it his duty to add, (for the
j direction chiefly of those, who, not having employ
ed particular agents, may leave the prolecution of
| their claims to his charge and management) that all
such alaims ought in particular to set forth—
J tft. The proper delcrip;ion and lunation cf the

quellioi*
4»h The loss and damage incurred or fufiained,
in confcquerec of such impediments, whether the
fame may have arisen from the infol*eney, change of
situation, or dearh of the debtor, the loss of legal
remedy from lapse of i«ne, or othercaufes impairing
the value and feautityof the debt, which wouid n*t
have so operated if such impediments had notexifted.
And sth. The particular grounds and reasons on
which the claimant maintains, in the terms of the

have and receive fun and adequate compenfation M for
the losses and damages so fuftaiued.
The general agent thinks it his duty further to fug-

of the debts claimed, and such other circurnftanCes
