Extortion

He may be set upon a stool of repentance in an open place
(with an inscription declaring his offence)

He may be screwed into a press and in that plight exhibited
in an open place. See Title of Corporal Punishment —

Extortion in an officer is where a person in office being
bound to render a certain service to another in a certain occasion
in virtue of his office, gives the party to understand that he
will not perform such service unless such a fee be given him
as he knows is not lawful for him to take and receives such
fee accordingly

What an officer a person in office takes in virtue or by colour of his office
be it money or moneys worth is called a Fee.

From p. 10

[(D) Due] A lawful fee is where the quantum of it is Setled by positive Law
is what is appointed by the Law.

Where the quantum is not settled by Law, what is most
conformable to office the usage of the office.

Where the quantum is not determinable by custom, for
instance where the service is of a new kind, what the skill and
trouble of the officer appears to be fairly worth: to wit in the opinion
of the Judge before whom the prosecution for extortion is tried.
