  Falsicrimen \Fal"si*cri"men\ [L.] (Civ. Law)
     The crime of falsifying.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: This term in the Roman law included not only forgery,
           but every species of fraud and deceit. It never has


           been used in so extensive a sense in modern common law,
           in which its predominant significance is forgery,
           though it also includes perjury and offenses of a like
           character. --Burrill. Greenleaf.
           [1913 Webster]
