    (1)   Subject to subsection (2), no count for publishing a blasphemous, seditious, obscene or defamatory libel or for selling or exhibiting any obscene book, pamphlet, newspaper, or other printed or written matter, shall be deemed insufficient on the ground that it does not set out the words thereof.

    (3)   A count for libel may charge that the matter published was written in a sense which would make the publishing criminal, specifying the sense without any prefatory averment showing how that matter was written in the sense, and at the trial it is sufficient to prove that the matter published was criminal, either with or without any innuendo.
