3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Bond v. State · Jones v. State““This affidavit discloses that she is a resident of Craig county, that she is the mother of the bastard child, and that J. W. Libby is the father of such child; and the affidavit is sworn to. This is all that is required to give the court jurisdiction of the subject-matter, and, though the complaint might have been made fuller and more explicit, yet it avers all the essential facts necessary to constitute a complaint under this statute, and we think the demurrer was properly overruled.””
