Excerpt: William Chaloner (1650s (or 1665) 1699) was a serial offender counterfeit coiner and confidence trickster, who was imprisoned in Newgate Prison several times and eventually proven guilty of High Treason by Sir Isaac Newton, Master of the Royal Mint. He was hanged on the gallows at Tyburn on 16 March 1699. His career of scamming and counterfeiting took a poor boy from Warwickshire to great wealth, a house in Knightsbridge, and he "put on ye habit of a Gentleman." He started by forging "Birmingham Groats," then moved on to Guineas, French Pistoles, crowns and half-crowns, Banknotes and lottery tickets. At various times he also made and sold dildos, worked as a quack doctor, Soothsayer, and sham anti-Jacobite "agent provocateur" to collect government rewards. In Guzman Redivivus, a posthumous biography published anonymously in 1699, it was stated that Chaloner was born in Warwickshire, the son of a weaver. His parents had great difficulty controlling him and his early aptitude for corruption, so he was apprenticed to a nail maker in Birmingham, a town notorious for coining. At this time groats (worth 4 pennies) were in short supply, so the forged "Birmingham groat" constituted a significant proportion of the national coinage. Chaloner, a quick learner, became skilled in their production. He soon demonstrated his ambition and, sometime in the 1680s, walked to London but the Craftsmens' Guild system prevented him finding gainful work, so he established himself by manufacturing and hawking "tin watches" containing dildos (Tin Watches, with D-doesWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
