The correct test is whether an amendment is one of substance; particulars fixing precise dates and reducing the amount from $2,000 to $1,000 were not substantive amendments, so no fresh Attorney General consent was required, the magistrate had jurisdiction, the confession statements were voluntary and admissible, and the magistrate's assessment of PW3 was reasonable; accordingly the convictions stand.
