However, though Bosman, (1928, p 155) describes "Billy Pitt" as a member of the officer performers from 1808 onwards (p.107), he only lists one performance (p.155) by someone named Pitt, namely "Two songs by Mr. W. Pitt Esq." on 26 September 1818, during an evening that included The Wandering Boys (Pixéricourt) and The Miller and His Men (Pocock).
