   2. (Law) Not covert; open; public; manifest; as, an overt act
      of treason. --Macaulay.

            No person shall be convicted of treason unless on

            act, or on confession in open court. --Constitution
      of the U. S.

   Note: In criminal law, an overt act is an open done in
         pursuance and manifestation of a criminal design; the
         mere design or intent not being punishable without such
         act. In English law, market overt is an open market; a
         pound overt is an open, uncovered pound.
