Bouvier's Law Dictionary and Concise Encyclopedia
See Maxim. that the defendants are charged separately with offences which without the addition of this word would seem, from the form of the indictment, to he charged jointly; as, for example, when two persons are indicted together for perjury, and the indictment states that A and B came before a commissioner, etc., this is alleging that they were both guilty of the same crime, when by law their crimes are distinct, and the indictment is vicious; but if the word separaliter is used, then the affirmation is that each was guilty of a separate offence.
2 Hale, PI. Cr. 174.
