Syllabus

<p>Perjury — Information—Sufficiency. An information for perjury, alleged to relate to a “certain information then and there pending,” sufficiently alleges that the evidence was given upon a trial of an actual cause, when it is further alleged that issue was joined upon such information, and that the cause was tried in due form before a jury.</p> <p>Same — Materiality of Evidence. An information for perjury alleging that certain evidence was material and was false, sufficiently charges, as against a general demurrer, the materiality of the evidence without specifically alleging that the same was material as evidence of an alibi, for which it was manifestly given.</p> <p>Criminal Law — Judsment—Conformity to Verdict. It cannot he claimed that the judgment and sentence was not rendered on the verdict because of recitals of the judgment slightly different from the verdict, where they both referred to the same cause, number, and date of filing, and the verdict rendered authorized the judgment.</p>
