Two youths, named Buxton and Scott, appealed against sentences of seven and six years, imposed on them respectively for blackmail. The Lord Chief Justice remarked: You have had the benefit of leave to appeal. You must now take the burden. You engaged in blackmail of the foulest description. One year is therefore added to each of your sentences. Twice in one day the accused accosted merchants, whom they charged with improper conduct, and asked for money.
