Responsa for Makkot 6:2
מתיב רב כהנא אומדים כמה אדם רוצה ליתן ויהיו אלף זוז בידו בין ליתן מכאן ועד ל' יום ובין ליתן מכאן ועד עשר שנים ואי אמרת שביעית משמטתו כולהו נמי בעי שלומי ליה
R' Kahana responds, We assess how much a person would give to have the one thousand zuz in his hand in thirty days instead of ten years. If you were to say the Sabbatical year cancels all debts, then the false witnesses would have to pay the whole debt.
