Being a full relation of the desperate life, and deserved death of that most notable thief, and notorious robber, Richard Hanam: who for his arch villanies, and notorious robberies committed both in England, Scotland, France, and Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, yea, Rome it self; far exceeds that arch villain the Spanish Gusman, and the late famous robber of England Captain Iames Hind; yea, and all the notorious thieves that ever yet were heard of: the like to whom hath not been known. With the manner of the execution, and his speech at his last farewell to the world. Licensed and entred according to Order.

whatsoever and pretended that if the Judges would goe along with him themselves over the water he would shew them where his instruments were made But the Honourable Judges suspecting some wicked Designe upon their persons committed him to the Gatehouse from whence he was shortly after removed to Newgate there to be kept until the time of Sessions How Hanam being prisoner in Newgate was brought down to the Sessions-House in the Old Baily and tried for his life before the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor Aldermen and Recorder of the City of London where after a short examination his facts being also notoriously known he was condemned to suffer death at Tyburn HAnam being now a prisoner in the prison of Newgate in short time after his comming thither the General Sessions and Assizes began in the Old-Bayly Where the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor and the rest of the Justices of the Bench being set Hanam was brought before them and being examined by the Honourable Bench was presently found Guilty and convicted of several horrid and desperate bloudy murthers and notorious robberies and was by the Jury found guilty of the same Whereupon the Right Honorable the Recorder then present immediately passed sentence of death against him That he should suffer Death at the place of Execution by being hanged by the neck till he died After which he was conveyed back to Newgate again there to remain till the day of Execution How Hanam after he was condemned to die made his escape out of Newgate and how little Grimes the under Clerk was hanged for consenting to his escape HAnam being now condemned to die and the day of Execution drawing nigh he resolved to make one desperate attempt for to make an escape quickly effected to the wonder of all that beheld the same the like having never been seen or done before and this his design be mane on Grimes formerly a Prisoner in the same place and one who had been condemned for having two Wives but was afterward Reprieved for that offence and at that time executed the place of an under Clerk in the said Prison of Newgate now this Grimes lying in the room with Hanom was made Privy to his escape which he willingly contented to and so suffered him by his women cunning to take off his Irons with which he was fettered which as the said Grimes confessed before the Honourable Bench he did use to do with ease every night and so put them on in the morning Now Hanam having taken off his Iron chains presently breaks open three or four great dores and breaks in sunder all the great Chains and Iron Bars and so escaped clear away leaving little Grimes to answer for his Treachery who afterwards contrary to his own expectation was condemned to die for the same and accordingly suffered death at Tyburn for the said fact How Hanam was pursued after and retaken again and how he was brought to London and within sight of Newgate and yet made his escape again HAnam being now at liberty by breaking of Prison great search and inquiry was made after him and within a while after was taken in the Country and so sent up to London and so conveyed towards Newgate but comming within the fight of Newgate he made a desperate attempt and got from them and so escaped again How Hanam after his second escape went to Rome and there committed several robberies more especially he robbed the late Queen of Sweden in her Nunnery HAnam being now gotten at liberty once more to prevent his being taken again got over again beyond sea and so steered his course towards Rome where being arrived he began to exercise his old accustomed trade of thieving and robbery again And having robbed several rich persons he resolved once more to make an attempt upon the late Queen of Sweden again Which he effected in the Nunnery where she frequented and to which she had betaken her selfe and where shee had laid up her treasure which Hanam having taken notice of presently made himself master thereof And having continued in this trade a while he returned again towards England How Hanam after his return to England was taken near Swithins Lane London on the 14 of Iune and so brought to Newgate the next morning and afterwards executed for all his former villanies on the 17 of Iune 1656. HAnam having imployed himselfe a while in his arch-trade of thieving at Rome he returned again towards England and so came to London where being in company near Swithins Lane London a drinking he endeavoured to make himself master of a sum of money which hee had some notice of that was in the house which they thought to have possest themselves of while they staid there drinking But notice being given thereof endeavors were used for to apprehend them And the thieves of which Hanam was one being shut up into a room got away over the houses but returning again he was taken having desperately wounded two or three men first and so kept in safe custody till the morning Which being come it being the Lords Day he was very strongly guarded to Newgate and the Keepers to prevent his further escape bound him hands and feet with strong chains and fetters of Iron where multitudes daily flocked to see him expecting his Execution which to give the Gallowes and Hang-man their due was performed in Smithfield the 17. day of this present moneth where as he lived wickedly he also died wilfully and desperately and so bid farewel to the World Thus have you heard a brief but true account of the rude life and notable Villanies committed by this wretched and unparalell'd Villain with his desperate but deserved shamefull Death the like to whom hath not been nor I hope never will be again Thus Hanam's dead and gone and bids the world adieu And for his Thefts and Villanies at the Gallows had his due FINIS
