As to the substantial circumstances .
The whole of the facts of the case necessary to make it appear judicially to the court that the indictors have gone upon sufficient premises ,

All indictments ought to charge a man with a particular offence ,
and not with being an offender in general :
to this rule there are some exceptions ,
as indictments against a common barrator ,
a common scold ,
and the keeper of a common bawdy house ;
such persons may be indicted by these general words .
1 Chit .
Cr .
Law ,
230 ,
and the authorities there cited .
The offence must not be stated in the disjunctive ,
so as to leave it uncertain on what it is intended to rely as an accusation ;
as ,
that the defendant erected or caused to be .
erected a nuisance .

There are certain terms of art used ,
so appropriated by the law to express the precise idea which it entertains of the offence ,
that no other terms ,
however synonymous they may seem ,
are capable of filling the same office :
such ,
for example ,
as traitorously , (
q .
v .)
in treason ;
feloniously ,
(
q .
v .)
in felony ;
burglariously , (
q .
v .)
in burglary ;
maim , (
q .
v .)
in mayhem , &

The conclusion of the indictment should conform to the provision of the constitution of the state on the subject ,
where there is such provision ;
as in Pennsylvania ,
Const .
art .
V .,

which provides ,
that "
all prosecutions shall be carried on in the name and by the authority of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania ,
and conclude against the peace and dignity of the same ."
