his attendant, Thomas Hyett: “I die in good will towards. 
Mr. Pitt, and there is a Codicil added to my Will relating to him.” 
Passing by for the moment the few words I shall have to say 
further as to Allen, I will continue the story of Pitt’s connection 
with the city. 
In May, 1766, the Town Council unanimously passed a resolution, 
“That the Right Hon. William Pitt, Esq, be respectfully requested 
to sit for his picture to be drawn at the expense of the Corporation, 
and to be affixed in the Guildhall, as a testimony of the particular 
respect and veneration for his great abilities, strict integrity, and 
constant attention to the liberties and interests of this free and 
independent Kingdom, during the glorious period of his Adminis- 
tration and since his resignation.” Mr. Hoare was ‘ to draw the 
picture.” 
On the 19th November, 1766, I find the following entry in the 
Council minutes :— 
Who shall be the Citizen to serve in Parliament in the place of the 
Right Hon. Willliam Pitt Esq now Earl of Chatham. 
As my time is not, I think, quite exhausted, I will venture to 
place before you a few particulars as to portions of Mr. Ralph 
Allen’s property. A statement prepared almost immediately 
after Allen’s death shows his income to have been as under :—
