332: Indictment for perjury or fraud
or “This used to be about how to officially charge someone for lying in court or cheating, but it's not used anymore.”
You could also call this:

“This rule about how to write parts of a court case document is no longer used.”

This part of the law was about general rules for counts in indictments. However, it’s no longer in use. The government removed this section on 1 July 2013. If you want to know more about indictments and how they work now, you might need to look at other parts of the Crimes Act or newer laws that have replaced this section.
