this business, by applying to W. Geer may have

at full liberty to determine whether or not W.

to prosecute and carry it on, with every care, at

CAPTION.
WHF.REAS a ccmbination of men in this
county have sn.ltrtaken to enrich thtm
felves,by fabricating titles to sundry valuable traAs
of land, the propertyof gentlemen living 10 New
York, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for which
trails Of Und large funis of money have been paid
to those fraudulent men, by innocent purchasers •
It is therefore just that public information (hould
be given, to the end, that the injured may feck re-. 1
dress while the men have property, and are to be
found. Those who have been discovered are Tr
uman Harrifon, Joseph Witcomb, said now to re
side in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and
ft vera! other! who go under fi&itious names. It is
supposed that the lands offered fcr faleon those fa
i bricated titles ate at teall worth fifty thousand
dollars. Such as we have a<9ual knowledge of are
as follows : Lots No. II and 12, Otfego patent,
thousand acres eich,thea<9nal property of William
Dellwyn, now of London ; lots No. 58 and 64,
fame patent, thousand acres each, the property of
Mr. Chaumont, now of Paris, and James Averill
and others, of this State. There is some grounds '
to suppose that the lands of Richard Wells and ;
diaries Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their
management.—7lie Printers will do well to give
this a place in tjkeir papers, as well to caution the
public against surchafiiig those lands, as also to de
prive those rru*n in future from imposing on indivi
duafs, whicb their education and address have en
abled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has been
a fhopkeeptr of some note in this country.
The following affidavits will fct in a clear point
of view wick«dnefs of those men, which when
the public have perused, will induce them to ex
enfe the interference of Wm. COOPER.
Otfego, July ißth, 1797.
I Thomas Kelly, of the County of Otfego, hav
ing been led into an error, by John Wit, omb and
Truman Harrifon, of the fame County, to sign a
j deed to them, for lot No. 58, Otfego patent, which
: was the-property of William I. Franklin now Mr.
f Chamont's and others; snd further the said Joseph
, and Truman did persuade me to do this against my
; inclination, which was made ottt on the icth day
j of November, 1793, or set back two years so as
to bring it to that time ; and further the nam&.of
I Pardon Starks to that deed was a fiflitiou# name,
there being no such perlon there. To this I make
voluntary oath. THOMAS KELLY.

On the 19th July, 1797, came personally before

ELIHU PHINNEY, Justice of the Peace.
On the 18th July, 1797, came before me Jacob
Kibby, a person by me well known and worthy of
good credit, who on his solemn oath did fay, that
I' two of the parties abovementioned did make ap
plication to him this deponent, some tjme in the
winter of 1796, to make thera a deed for two thou
sand acres of land in the Otego patent, and pro
mised this deponent a fharc of the profits, on the
fait of said lands, for his so doing ; and th it they
male application several times for the fame purpo e,
whi»h farvices this deponent as often rcfufed, de
claring to them that he had no right to lands, and
coulc.do no such tiling ; which daring attempt on
this d«poßent's integrity he had related among his
friend; several times, previous to making this affi- i
davit. JACOB KIBBEY.

that the several claims be so Dated, and support.
Ed, as to prevent the delay which would arise from

the general agent thinks It his duty to add, (for the
