TRAITOROUSLY, pleadings. This is a technical word, which is essential in an 
indictment for treason in order to charge the crime, and which cannot be 
supplied by any other word, or any kind of circumlocution. Having been well 
laid in the statement of the treason itself, it is not necessary to state 
every overt act to have been traitorously committed. Vide Bac. Ab.
