In an indictment for perjury, it is sufficient to set forth the substance of the offense charged, stating before whom or in what court the oath or affirmation was administered or taken, the general nature of the cause or proceedings, with the names of the parties and proper averments to falsify the matter wherein the perjury is assigned, without setting forth the complaint, answer, indictment, information, declaration or any part of any record, either in law or in equity and without setting forth the commission or authority of the court or person, before whom the perjury was committed.
