Identify X?

The origin of X seems to be from Saint Peter, the
first Pope, and one of the most revered figures
in Catholic lore.
When Peter was martyred by crucifixion he was
said to have requested to be crucified upside
down because he didn't feel worthy of dying the
same way as Jesus. As a result, many dyed-in-
the-wool Catholics actually consider the X to be
more acceptable contrary to the popular belief.

Scholars trace the origin of this term X to the historical
practice of itinerant judges on the U.S. frontier.
These judges were paid on the basis of how many trials
they conducted, and in some instances their salary
depended on the fines from the defendants they
convicted. The term comes from the image of these
judges hopping from place to place, guided less by
concern for justice than by the desire to wrap up as
many trials as the day allowed.
What term?
