CAUTION.
WHEREAS a combination of men ill this
county have undertaken to enrich thum
felves.by fabricating titles to sundry valuable trails
of land, the properly of gentlemen living in New
York, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for which
tra&s of lsnd large sums of money have been paid
to those fraudulent men, fc'J innocent purchasers
It is therefore full tli't public information should
ba given, to the end, that t>c injured may feck re
dr*fs while the nen have property , and are to be
found. Those who have be«n difcovtred arc Tru
man Harrifon, Joseph Witsomb, said now. to re
side in the county of Saratoga ; ThomSs Kelly ar.d
fevcral others who go under fiwlitious names. His
supposed that the lands offered fcr sale 011 those fa
bricated titles, are at lead worth fifty thcufand
dollars. Such as we haveaifual knowledge of are
as folfbws : Lots No. II and 12, Otfego patent,
tkoufand acres each, the aflual property of William
Dellw)n, now of London'; lot*j No. 58 and 64,
fame pstent, thcufand acres each, the property of
Mr. Chaumont, now of Paris, and James Averill
and others, ot this State. There is some grounds
to suppose that the lands of Uichard Welisand
Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their
management —The 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
prive those men in future from mipofing on indivi
duafs, which their education and address have en
abled them to do heretofore. W1 tcuni',> has Been
a (hopkeeper of some note in this sountry.
The following affidavits will fct in a clear point
of view tht"wick«dnefs of those men, which when
' the public hive perused, will induce them to ex
cuffl the interference of Wm. COOPER.
