3. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
EXTORTION, crimes. In a large sense it, signifies any oppression, under
color of right: but in a more strict sense it means the unlawful taking by
any officer, by color of his office, of any money or thing of value that is
not due to him, or more than is due, or before it is due. 4 Bl. Com. 141; 1
Hawk. P. C. c. 68, s. 1; 1 Russ. Cr. *144. To constitute extortion, there
must be the receipt of money or something of value; the taking a promissory
note, which is void, is. not sufficient to make an extortion. 2 Mass. R.
523; see Bac. Ab. h.t.; Co. Litt. 168. It is extortion and oppression for
an officer to take money for the performance of his duty, even though it be
in the exercise of a discretionary power. 2 Burr. 927. It differs from
exaction. (q.v.) See 6 Cowen, R. 661; 1 Caines, R. 130; 13 S. & R. 426 1
Yeates, 71; 1 South. 324; 3 Penna. R. 183; 7 Pick. 279; 1 Pick. 171.
