A NEW COCK-LANE, OR RATHER DOWNING-STREET
Griosr...—Our Readers will scarcely believe, that any
story so ridiculous as the re-appearance of the Right
Hon. WILLIAM PITT in this sublunary world should
have gained credit ; yet so it is. A person of the
name of Francis Murray, formerly employed as a
constable in taking up French Emigrants, had a de-
mand of £3O on the Treasury for expences. He as-
serts, that about eleven months after the public fu-
neral of Mr. Pitt, he met him on hoe:dark, in the Lon-
don-road, and determined to have his money from
him. He was quite sure of the person being Mr.
Pitt; and after much watching, threatening, and
abuse, he actually obtained payment of £32 from this
identical Mr—Pitt, although he called himself Mr.
Chapman. And Mr. Murray went on persecuting
the dead.and-alive Minister, because he had also pro-
mised him a place, until, on Monday, the 9th ult.
he was ordered, by a summons from Marlborough-
street Office, to find bail to keep the peace to the
said Mr. Chapman. But he persisted that the said
Mr. Chapman v►*as the actual William Pitt, late
Prime Minister of England; he was considered as a
madman, and suffered to depart. Now, that a man
s'aiuld per si•t• in his mistake, in the hopes of getting
a place, particularly after he had obtained £32 on
the strength of it, we can easily conceive; but we
do not think it possible that a writer could be found
publicly and seriously to declare his full and serious
belief " that Mr. Pitt is not dead, but that he pre-
tended to creep into a coffin to escape the rude grasp
of adverse Joanne." Yet we find the narrative, cer-
tificates, and discussion, deliberately put forth, and
wore ev4Lece is promised.
