color of right: but in a more strict sense it means the unlawful taking by

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

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
