(L. Lat.)

In old English law. Several; a several or separate share or portion. A separate property. SEPARALITER (Lat. separately). A word sometimes used in indictments to show that the defendants are charged separately with offenses which, without the addition of this word, would seem, from the form of the indictment, to be 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 aeparaliter is used, then the affirmation is that each was guilty of a separate offense. 2 Hale, P. C. 174.
