WILLIAM prr's DEBAUcHEGy.- William
Pitt, virtually ruler of England from l783 to

years of bis lie but, though his physicians
warned him that death was in the glass, he

ly-in port wine, of which, previous to an
important debate, he would swallow several
bottles, to relieve himself from the langor
produced by extreme mental and bodily eX
ertion At length wine ceased 10 excite him
sufficiently, and he had recourseto laudonum,
of which sometimes lie took two hundred
drops at time.
Pitt nearly lost his life at one time, in a
drunken frolic. One night toll-bar keeper
on the road between Croydon and WimLlo-
don was aroused from his slumbers by the
rapid approlch Of three lorsemen, wAo gal
loped through, the gate being open, without
pausing to pay the toll. Having frequently
been choused,to use the worthy's own words,
by persons playing the same hilkiug trick,
and several roUbelies having lately taken
place in that ncghhorhool the gate keeper
fired off lis blundelbuss at the hcrsemen, but
without effect. Next day when a servant
called to pay the toll the man discovered
that the equestrian rumyirate consisted of
William Pitt, Lord Thurow and Harry DHU-
