““Great particularity is not required in such proceedings, and the legislature has taken care to provide against technical defenses of this character to such undertakings. The essence of all undertaking of bail is the appearance of defendant at court, and the bail is forfeited by the failure of defendant to appear, although the offense, judgment, or other matter is incorrectly described therein, if the particular matter or case to which the undertaking is applicable is made to appear to the court.””
