Night

That space of time during which the sun is below the horizon of the earth, except that short space which precedes its rising and follows its setting, during which, by its light, the countenance of a man may be discerned. At common law, the night, for the purpose of burglary, does not begin until after and ceases when there is daylight enough to discern a man's countenance.
