The following excerpt is from People v. Grosunor, 109 Misc.2d 663, 440 N.Y.S.2d 996 (N.Y. City Ct. 1981):
In People v. Poll, 94 Misc.2d 905, 405 N.Y.S.2d 943 (1978), the court held the requirement that the offense charged be supported by non-hearsay allegations merely affected the form of the accusatory instrument and was not substantive in nature, and there existed no jurisdictional impediment to the defendant's prosecution.
