CAUTION.
W HER PAS a combination of med in this
county have undertaken to enrich th*n»-
ftlves,by faUricutiiig titles tofunc'r/ valuable traAs
of laud, the property of gentlemen living in New
Yoik, Philadelphia, London .ma Paris, for whioh
tra&» of lend large funis of money have betin paid I
tp those fraudulent,men, by innocent purchaser* •
It xs therefore just tnst public information fliould
be given, to the end, thai the injured may ferk re- ;
dref* while the racn have property, and are to be
found. Those who have bean discovered areTru
m n Harrifou, Joseph Witcomb, said now tore
fide in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and |
several other! who go under fi&itious names. It is
supposed that the lands offered fcr sale On those fa
bricated titles, are at lcworth fifty thousand j
dollars. Such as we have a&ual knowledge of are [
as follows ; Lots No. II and 12, patent,
thoufanJ acre* each, the aClual property of William 1
Dellwyn, now of London ; lots No. 58 and 64,
fame patent, thnttfknd acres each, the property of !
Mr. Chaumcnt, now of Pari?, and lemeaAverill
and othew, of tint State. There is lome grounds
to suppose that the lands of Richard and
Charles Wharton, ps Philadelphia, are under their
management.—The Primers will do well to give ,
this a place-in tJicir papers, as w«U to caution the
public against purch»Rng thcue lands, as also tt> de
prive those men in future from imposing on indivi
du*f», whicn tneir education and address have en
abled.them to do heretofore. Witcomb has been |
a shopkeeper of some note in this couiKry.
The following affidavits will fct in a clear point
of view tha wickcdnefs ol thole men,which when
the public have perufid, will induce them to ea
cufe the intnference of Wm. COOPER.
