Syllabus

<p>1. Complaint and Ineobmation — Variance.— Where, as in this case, there are expressions in the complaint not used in the information, but which, if treated as surplusage and stricken out, would leave the complaint complete, the variance is not fatal.</p> <p>2. Aggravated Assault — Indictment.— While an information or indictment for aggravated assault must charge the particular circumstance of aggravation relied upon, it need not charge the offense in so many words to bean “ aggravated assault.” See the opinion for an information for this offense held sufficient.</p>
