“He contends that the indictment should have been amended. We do not agree that such was necessary. In Osborne v. State, 24 Tex.App. 398 , 6 S.W. 536 , the Court of Appeals said: “It was surplusage to allege the time when the term of the court began; and this portion of the indictment might have been stricken out without invalidating the indictment.” Later this Court in Fagnani v. State, 66 Tex.Cr.R. 291 , 146 S.W. 542 , said: “Appellant’s motion to quash the indictment, because it incorrectly gave the term at which the grand jury was impaneled ‘at the May term, A.D. 191_,’ instead of ‘at the May term, A.D.1911,’ was properly overruled.””
