314 Particulars
(1) After the statement of the crime particulars of such crime shall be set out in ordinary language, avoiding as far as possible the use of technical terms.
(2) Where any statute limits the particulars of a crime which are required to be given in an indictment, nothing in this section shall require any more particulars to be given than those so required.
(3) The omission of any fact from the particulars shall not vitiate the count to which they are appended if the particulars are sufficient to describe with reasonable clearness the nature of the charge.
