60 - Penalty if creditor swears falsely. - New York Statutes

§ 60. Penalty if creditor swears falsely. If a creditor knowingly swears, in any proceedings authorized by this article, that the petitioner is, or will become, indebted to him, in a sum of money, which is not really due, or thereafter to become due; or in more than the true amount; or that more was paid for a debt, which was purchased or assigned, than the sum, actually and in good faith paid therefor; he forfeits to the trustee, to be recovered in an action, twice the sum, so falsely sworn to.
