““ * * * the fact thus relied on must be averred in the indictment. * * * As stated by Lord Campbell in the case of Reg. v. Clark, 20 Eng. L. & Eq. Rep. 682: ‘It is only the averment of a fact which may affect the punishment. The jury do not find the person guilty of the previous offense; they only find that he was previously convicted of it, as an historical fact.’ ””
