A pretense is the holding out or offering to others something false and feigned. This may be done either by words or actions, which amount to false representations. In fact, false representations are inseparable from the idea of a retense. Without a representation which is alse there can be no pretense. State v. Joaquip, 43 Iowa, 132.—False representation. See Fraup; DEceIT.—False return. See RETUEN.—False swearing. The misdemeaner committed in English law by a person who swears falsely before any person authorized to administer an oath upon a matter of public concern, under such circumstances that the false swearing would have amounted to perjury if committed in a judicial proceeding; as where a person makes a false affidavit under the bills of sale acts.
