Extortion is either in a person at large or in an office. Negative Extortion
in a person at large is where a person being bound (A) to render

Example As if a man having a large sum of money about him falls you, you fall into
a fit, and you he seeing him you in distress refuses to help him you
out unless he you will give you him the money: if you he receives the money
it is extortion: but if the man has you have wherewithal you he
may exact (and take) rec demand and receive a reasonable reward for your his assistance.
Or as if a man being in want of meat drink cloathing lodging
firing medicine medical attendance or other necessary things or or other necessaries (at a time when there is no general
scarcity) services and being so accustomed situated by reason of some particular circumstances that there is but such or such a particular person or persons that you can have recourse to you refuse a man refuses to supply him you but at an unreasonable
