Court toured by English count with upright bearing (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erectly

'with upright bearing' is the definition.
(standing upright)

'court toured by english count' is the wordplay.
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'toured by' is an insertion indicator (tour can mean to go around).
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'count' becomes 'rely' (I've seen this before).
'e'+'rely'='erely'
'ct' inserted within 'erely' is 'ERECTLY'.

(Other definitions for erectly that I've seen before include "In a rigidly upright way" , "In upright manner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
