Newgate but nimble Hannam made his escape out of the house top and clambred like a Cat from one house to another untill at last he got into a garret some halfe a dozen doores off where a young man was at worke who being amazed to see one come in in that manner Hannam very meekly beseecht him to do him the favour as to convey him out of doors for says he I am in danger to be arrested being pursued by halfe a dozen Sergeants and if I be catcht I shal be cast in prison undone The young man believing him supposing all that he had said to be true willingly assisted him and so let him escape cleare

his house and found him standing at the Barre with his face from him Hannam makes no more adoe but with a dagger-knife that he had stabbs him in the shoulder and upon his turning about wounded him in the arm in two places intending to have kild him and again made his escape through and over the houses till he came to Serjeant Proby's yard whose gate being lockt up put a stop to his furt●er passage

believe his fayned story makes at him with a good courage at the first thrust wounded him in the thigh Hannam feeling it smart clapt within him stab'd him with his dagger in the belly also stab'd his man in 2 or 3 places yet at last was over-mastered gotten down so Sergeant Proby sent for a Constable who carried him away to the Poultry Counter for that night the next morning brought him before Alderman Foot upon examination he còfest what he was what he had done seeming rather to glory in then to be sorry for his villany For when the Alderman askt him how he got out of Newgate Sayes hee I opened such doores I think as none but the Divell could have opened and with as much ease as one of your servants can open your door with the key in his hand and so I went out Being asked if any of the Keepers were privy to or assisting in his escape he fairly cleared them all only little Grimes who faith he might have gone with me if he would I offered him to maintain him lik a man as long as he lived but perceiving him faint-hearted I bid him stay and be hanged and so it seems he was After some other discours he was sent to Newgate and there strictly watcht and guarded till the day of his execution which was upon Tuesday the 17 of June 1656. the manner thus There being a Gibbet erected in the middle of the Round in Smithfield at eleven of the clock Hannam was drawn thither in a Cart attended by the honourable Sheriffes of London with a very great guard of Officers and multitudes of people to see his last farewell When he came to the place of execution he stood up in the Cart and
