De concussione

(Concerning Extortion.)

1Ul­pia­nus li­bro quin­to opi­nio­num. Si si­mu­la­to prae­si­dis ius­su con­cus­sio in­ter­ve­nit, ab­la­tum eius­mo­di ter­ro­re re­sti­tui prae­ses pro­vin­ciae iu­bet et de­lic­tum co­er­cet.

1Ulpianus, Opinions, Book V. If extortion is committed under a pretended order of the Governor, the Governor of the province shall order the property surrendered through terror, to be restored, and shall punish the crime.

2Ma­cer li­bro pri­mo pu­bli­co­rum iu­di­cio­rum. Con­cus­sio­nis iu­di­cium pu­bli­cum non est: sed si id­eo pe­cu­niam quis ac­ce­pit, quod cri­men mi­na­tus sit, pot­est iu­di­cium pu­bli­cum es­se ex se­na­tus con­sul­tis, qui­bus poe­na le­gis Cor­ne­liae te­ne­ri iu­ben­tur, qui in ac­cu­sa­tio­nem in­no­cen­tium co­ie­rint qui­ve ob ac­cu­san­dum vel non ac­cu­san­dum, de­nun­tian­dum vel non de­nun­tian­dum tes­ti­mo­nium pe­cu­niam ac­ce­pe­rit.

2Macer, Public Prosecutions, Book I. The prosecution of extortion is not public, but if anyone has received money because he threatened another with a criminal accusation, the prosecution may become public under the Decrees of the Senate, by which all those are ordered to be liable to the penalty of the Cornelian Law who have joined in the denunciation of innocent persons, and have received money in consideration of accusing, or not accusing others, or of giving, or not giving testimony against them.
