In an indictment for perjury it shall be sufficient to set forth the substance of the offense charged upon the defendant – that he was sworn or testified on oath, and before what court, or before whom the oath or affirmation was taken; averring the court or person to have had competent authority to administer the same, together with proper averments to falsify the matter wherein the perjury is assigned, without setting forth the bill, answer, information, indictment, declaration, or any part of any record or proceeding, either in law or equity, and without setting forth the commission or authority of the court, or the commission or authority of the person before whom the perjury was committed.
