I came across this interesting criminal case from 1908 in which a man named Frederick Young was tried and convicted for extorting money from George Duckworth and threatened (in a letter) to kill him.

  

I’m attaching a screenshot from the Old Bailey and the link here: https://www.oldbaileyonline.org/browse.jsp?div=t19080303-52
