Every summons or warrant issued under section 70 shall contain a brief statement of the substance of the information on which the summons or warrant was issued, and shall state the amount of the bond to be executed, the term for which it is to be in force and the number, character and class of sureties, if any, required. Power to dispense with personal attendance 72.
