§ 60. Penalty if creditor swears falsely. If a creditor knowingly

swears, in any proceedings authorized by this article, that the

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

forfeits to the trustee, to be recovered in an action, twice the sum, so
