PERJURY - Intensity of averment.
According to Coke, it is not Perjury, if the deposition averment
be qualified with soften'd by such a qualification as "he thinketh
he remembereth, he believeth, or the like".
This is his opinion: and upon this the matter rests: for
I can find no judicial determination upon the point:
It is however a point of very great importance, & merits
to be settled in terms more precise, by an Authority
less equivocal, & as I conceive or a side the contrary
to that which he has taken.
