“The act of 1811, passed the year after Owen's case ( 5 N.C. 452 ), was decided and, we have reason to believe, was caused by it. It enacted that in all criminal prosecutions in the Superior Courts it shall be sufficient that the indictment contain the charge in a plain, intelligible and explicit manner; and no judgment shall be arrested for or by reason of any informality or refinement when there appears to be sufficient in the face of the indictment to induce the court to proceed to judgment,”
