The breaking and entering need not be done the same night 1 Russ . &

but it is necessary the breaking and entering should be in the night time ,
for if the breaking be in daylight and the entry in the night ,
or vice versa ,
it will not be burglary .

The means used .
There must be both a breaking and an entry .
First ,
of the breaking ,
which may be actual or constructive .
An actual breaking tal -,
es place when the burglar breaks or removes ally part of ,
the house ,
or the fastenings provided for it ,
with violence .
Breaking a window ,
taking a pane of glass out ,
by breaking or bending the nails ,
or other fastenings ,
raising a latch where the door is not otherwise fastened ;
picking open a lock with a false key ;
putting back the lock of a door or the fastening of a window ,
with an instrument ;
turning the key when the door is locked in the inside ,
or unloosening any other fastening which the owner has provided ,
are several instances of actual breaking .
According to the Scotch law ,
entering a house by means of the true key ,
while in the door ,
or when it had been stolen ,
is a breaking .

Constructive breakings occur when the burglar gams an entry by fraud ,
conspiracy or threats .

The breaking of an inner door of the house will be sufficient to constitute a burglary .
1 Hale ,

Any ,
the least ,
entry ,
with the whole or any part of the body ,
hand ,
or foot ,
or with any instrument or weapon ,
introduced for the purpose of committing a felony ,
will be sufficient to constitute the offence .

But the introduction of an instrument ,
in the act of breaking the house ,
will not be a sufficient entry ,
unless it be introduced for the purpose of committing a felony .
6 . -

The intention .
The intent of the breaking and entry must be felonious ;
if a felony however be committed ,
the act will be prima facie evidence of an intent to commit it .
If the breaking and entry be with an intention to commit a bare trespass ,
and nothing further is done ,
the offence will not be a burglary .
