UNLAWFULLY, pleadings.
This word is frequently used in indictments in the description of the
offence; it is necessary when the crime did not exist at common law, and
when a statute, in describing an offence which it creates, uses the
word, 1 Moody, Cr. Cas. 339; but it is unnecessary whenever the crime
existed at common law, and is manifestly illegal. 1 Chitty, Crim. Law,
*241; Hawk. B. 2, c. 95, s. 96; 2 Roll. Ab. 82; Bac. Abr. Indictment, G 1
Cro. C. C. 38, 43.
