(1) In indictments for larceny or embezzlement of money or evidences of debt it shall be sufficient to describe the property in general terms, as “money,” “bank-notes,” “checks,” “bills of exchange,” “promissory notes,” and the like, of or about a certain amount and of certain value; and in an indictment for embezzlement of money or funds by a treasurer, cashier, or other fiduciary, it shall be sufficient to describe the same as a “balance of account” and of a certain value.

(2) In indictments for any crime in which the ownership of property, whether real or personal, must be alleged and proven, if ownership is vested in any entity other than an individual person, it shall be sufficient to allege and prove a name by which the entity is commonly known; and no indictment shall be held to be insufficient for failing to fully set forth such matters as governmental origins or the names of trustees, council members, supervisors, heirs or other persons with dominion or control over the entity or its property, and proof of such matter shall not be required at any trial upon the indictments.
