Syllabus

<p>Indictment—Amendment.—A misstatement in an indictment as to the day on which the term of the court at which the same was presented began goes to the form and not to the substance of the indictment, and may be amended under the order of the court by merely erasing the wrong date and substituting the proper one. Moreover, such amendment is unnecessary, as the allegation of the time when the term began was mere surplusage.</p>
