Hi,

Can't remember very much.... but there was something about him (or someone else by the name of Peel) being in the police. Therefore police became known as "peelers".

There is an old English folk song titled "Do ye ken John Peel?" (ken means "know"). I have the lyrics but I'm trying to find out more about the person John Peel. He hunted with hounds in 19th century England and died in 1854. Would appreciate any additional info I can get.
