A man and a woman have admitted sending "menacing" tweets to a feminist campaigner who wanted a female face on the new £10 banknote.
Isabella Sorley, 23, and John Nimmo, 25, both pleaded guilty at Westminster Magistrates' Court to sending the messages to Caroline Criado-Perez last July.
Ms Criado-Perez was subjected to abuse on the microblogging site Twitter after successfully calling for the 19th century novelist Jane Austen to be put on the note.
Labour MP Stella Creasy was said to have also been targeted when she came to the defence of the freelance journalist.
Ms Criado-Perez helped persuade the Bank of England to put Austen on the new £10 from 2017 following a petition signed by more than 35,000 people.
The Crown Prosecution Service had announced last month that Sorley, from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and Nimmo, of South Shields, were both charged.
However the CPS said it would not be in the public interest to prosecute over messages allegedly sent to Ms Creasy.
