rhe Word "Rlncl,mniIinr...

The word ''blackmailiEg." derived
from the -Anglo-SaXon NAL 0a30 and
the old French ''maille" (a coin of small
value), was originally applied to rents
paid in kind. in order to distinguish
them from payments made in silver or
white" payments. About the sin
tcenth century it was applied to money
paid as the price of protection from
freebooters. This was declared illegal
by Elizabeth, but flourishcd in the
highlands of Scotland until after Cul-
loden, in 114J.
"Blackmail' is mentioned in Arch
bishop uamilton's Catechisme QJJ2l.
One of the most picturesque leviers
OF blackmail was Rob Roy. who grew
famous in this connection about thr
