Westminster Abbey or the Church of St. Peter was stripped of its bells in favor of the newly constructed St. Paul's Cathedral. This was the origin of the famous expression, robbing Peter to pay Paul. They leave it or not. In a moment I'll tell you about a weird death watch. John Droit of Horsham, England committed a crime for which his son was hanged on April

13, 1799. The crime was robbery of a male coach, which was punishable by death in the 18th The father later performed a weird atonement. He sat day and night beneath the jibbit on which his son's body was left hanging.

Four years later, inside of his son's skeleton, he finally died. Believe it or not.
