¶1— This record presents hut a single question, and that is the sufficiency of the indictment. The pleader, by this indictment, attempted to charge the crime of burglary, defined and made punishable by section 1758, Hill’s Code. That section punishes any person who shall break and enter any dwelling-house in the night-time, in which there is at the time some human being, with intent to commit a crime therein; or, having entered with such intent, shall break any such dwelling-house in the nighttime, or be armed with a dangerous weapon therein, or assault any person lawfully therein. The indictment fails to charge that the breaking and entry was in the nighttime, or that there was in the house some human being. Under this section, these are a part of the' essential elements of the crime of burglary, without which the defendant is not brought within the statute punishing that offense. Section 1759 makes the same acts punishable if committed in the day-time, and for the reason already suggested, a conviction could not be sustained under this section. Section 1760 punishes whoever shall break and enter any building within the curtilage of any dwelling-house but not forming a part thereof, or shall break and enter any building, or part thereof, booth, tent, etc., in which property is kept, with the intent to steal therein, or commit any felony therein. The indictment in this case does not charge any of the elements of burglary under this section. Counsel for the state cite State v. McGinnis, 17 Or. 332, in which there was no bill of exceptions, and the court refused to examine the errors relied upon, but the appellant attempted to bring into the record by affidavit the facts upon which he relied. But here, the error is in the judgment roll, in the indictment itself, in that it fails to charge a crime. Such an error is not waived by silence or cured by judgment. Counsel for the state also cite State v. Jarvis, 18 Or. 360. In that case the indictment charged both incest and rape, and we held *236that if the objection had been taken by demurrer in the court below, it would have prevailed; but not having been so taken, it was waived. The distinction is manifest. In the one case a crime is charged in the indictment; in the other it is not. It is true, in the Jarvis case more than was necessary to constitute a single crime was charged, but that did not necessarily vitiate the indictment. In this case there is not enough charged. In State v. Bruce, 5 Or. 68, 20 Am. Rep. 734, this court held that the particular objection made to the indictment in that case was waived by failing to demur; but that there might be no misunderstanding of the ground upon which the decision was placed, the court, by Bonham, J., added: “This reasoning, of course, does not apply to an indictment which is subject to the objections raised by the first and fourth grounds of demurrer as specified by statute.” (Grim. Code, §§ 123, 131.) These sections are numbered 1322 and 1330, respectively, of the present revision..
¶2For the reasons that the indictment in this case fails to charge a crime, the judgment must be reversed; but no order for the defendant’s discharge will be made, for the reason that the objection may probably be obviated by another indictment if the court below shall so direct.
