Before McGREGOR, P.J., and T. M. BURNS and O'HARA, * JJ.
Defendant was charged with assault with intent to rape. 1 On the date of trial the trial court, on motion of the prosecutor, and without objection amended the information to charge taking indecent liberties with a child under the age of sixteen years. 2 He was convicted of the charge, and he appeals of right.

C.L.1948, § 767.76 reads, in relevant part, as follows:
