  WHEREAS. This word implies a recital, and in general cannot be used in the 
  direct and positive averment of a fact in a declaration or plea. Those facts 
  which are directly denied by the terms of the general issue, or which may, 
  by the established usage of pleading, be specially traversed, must be 
  averred in positive and direct terms; but facts, however material, which are 
  not directly denied by the terms of the general issue, though liable to be 
  contested under it, and which, according to the usage of pleading, cannot be 
  specially traversed, may be alleged in the declaration by way of recital, 
  under a whereas. Gould, Pl. c. 43, Sec. 42; Bac. Ab. Pleas, &c., B. 5, 4; 2 
  Chit. Pl. 151, 178, 191; Gould, Pl. c. 3, Sec. 47.
