Ithaca Journal (Ithaca, NY) February 24, 1830, page 3.ALLEGANY AND STEUBEN. - The settlers on the Pulteney and Hornby Estates in these counties are pursuing a course similar to that which produced such important results on the Holland Purchase. They recently met in convention at Bath, and published a statement of grievances addressed to John Greig and Robert Troup, agents of those estates. They allude to the diversion of the tide of emigration to other quarter, occasioned by the reduced prices of the lands of the government and of the Holland Company, by the construction of the Erie Canal, &c.
The consequent depreciation in value of the Pulteney and Hornby Lands, is then noticed: the great amount of debt due for those lands, it is said, exceeds the whole value of real estate, including improvements, in the hands of the settlers; this, with the impossibility of selling their lands at their estimated value, and inability to discharge their debts, compels them to seek relief. They then suggest to the Pulteney and Hornby Agents the propriety of pursuing the policy which has recently been so beneficiently exercised by the Holland Company towards the settlers on its lands - a policy mutually advantageous to the company and its debtors, and which reflects credit on the Agent, (the Hon. David E. Evans) whose instrumentality led to its adoption. - Rochester Daily Adv.

It seems that the title of other large estates, besides those of the Livingstons and Van Rensselaers, are to be tested, The Steuben Advocate says that A. L. Jordon, Attorney General, has commenced a suit against Mr. Allen Butler, jr., of Bath, in order to test the titles of the Pulteney estate. It will probably be tried at the next circuit. According to the same authority a similar suit has been commenced against a resident of the town of Springwater, to test the title of the lands claimed by the Hornby estate. Buffalo Com. Adv.
