        "text": "Mr. JUSTICE TRAPP\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nDefendant appeals his conviction upon a negotiated plea to possession of a controlled substance in violation of section 402(b) of the Controlled Substances Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1971, ch. 56%, par. 1402(b)). A sentence of 1 to 2 years was imposed.\nThe only issue remaining upon appeal following oral argument is the sufficiency of the indictment alleging \u201cpossession [of] less than 200 grams of a substance containing a derivative of barbituric acid #\nIt is primarily contended that the indictment failed to specify the controlled substance, secobarbital, and that such omission could make defendant subject to a subsequent prosecution for the same acts.\nIn People v. Jones, 53 Ill.2d 460, 464, 292 N.E.2d 361, the court said:\n\u201cThe liberalization of criminal pleading also reflects a lessening in importance of the indictment\u2019s secondary functions. The indictment as a means of informing defendants of particulars concerning the case is now far overshadowed by the array of discovery procedures available to the defense. Similarly, the time when an indictment defined the limits of jeopardy has passed and a prior prosecution on the same facts may be proved by resort to the record.\u201d\nWe find that the record includes the proceedings at a preliminary hearing wherein the date, time and place, together with persons present or having knowledge of the offense, are set out in detail. At such hearing secobarbital was identified as the substance. Such record establishes a bar to subsequent prosecution for the same offense.\nA plea of guilty waives any irregularity in an indictment which is not jurisdictional. People v. Hubbard, 46 Ill.2d 563, 264 N.E.2d 144.\nIn the absence of a genuine issue that defendant was unable to prepare a defense, or that he was subject to a subsequent prosecution for the same acts, the conviction and sentence must be affirmed.\nAffirmed.\nSMITH, P. J., and CRAVEN, J., concur.",
