Token, and 2 Stark. Ev. 563. 7 FALSEHOOD is a wilful act or declaration contrary to truth. It is by words. It is wilful when ‘the owner of a thing sells it twice, by different contracts to different individuals, unknown to them; for in this the seller must wilfully declare the thing is his own, when he knows that is not so. It is committed by dissimulation when a creditor has an understanding with his former debtor, sells the land of the latter, although he has been paid the debt which was due to him. Falsehood by word is committed when a witness swears to what he knows not to be true. Falsehood is usually attendant on crime. Roscoe, Cr. Ev. 362. A. slander must be false to entitle the plaintiff to recover damages. But whether a libel be true or false the writer or publisher may be indicted for it. Bull. N. P. 9; Selw. N.
