“Any person who breaks and enters any building within the curtilage of any dwelling house, but not forming a part thereof, or breaks and enters any building or part thereof, booth, tent, railroad car, vessel, boat, or other structure or erection in which any property is kept and which is not a dwelling house, with intent to steal or to commit any felony therein, is guilty of burglary and shall be punished upon conviction by imprisonment in the penitentiary for not more than 10 years.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Tribble“So also to knock at the door, and upon opening it to rush in, with a felonious intent; or under pretense of taking lodgings, to fall upon the landlord and rob him; * * * all these entries have been adjudged burglarious, though there was no actual breaking; for the law will not suffer itself to be trifled with by such evasions, * * *.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Carey“Since the word `breaking' as used in the common law with reference to the crime of burglary had a definite and fixed meaning which included fraudulent and surreptitious entries, it is the established rule that the legislature used the term `breaking' in its common-law sense with reference to the statutory crime of burglary.”
