Burglary.

An. Code, 1924, sec. 35. 1912, sec. 32. 1904, sec. 30. 1888, sec. 27. 1809, ch. 138, sec. 5.

1924, ch. 150.

32. Every person convicted of the crime of burglary or accessory thereto
before the fact shall restore the thing taken to the owner thereof, or shall pay
him the full value thereof, and be sentenced to imprisonment in jail or in
the Maryland House of Correction or in the Maryland Penitentiary for not
more than twenty years.

Since one of the elements of burglary is a felonious intent, it is material to show
for what purpose traverser entered the house; hence it may be shown that he entered
for the purpose of having carnal intercourse with the owner. Robinson v. State, 53
Md. 151.

1937, ch. 141, sec. 35A.

33. Every person, his aiders, abettors and counsellors, who shall break

take or carry away the personal goods of another of any value therefrom
shall be deemed a felon, and shall be guilty of the crime of burglary.

An. Code, 1924, sec. 36. 1912, sec. 33. 1904, sec. 31. 1888, sec. 28. 1809, ch. 138, sec. 5.

1937, ch. 141, sec. 36.

34. Every person, his aiders, abettors and counsellors, who shall be
convicted of the crime of breaking a dwelling house in the day time with
intent to commit murder or felony therein, or with the intent to steal, take
or carry away the personal goods of another of any value therefrom, or
breaking a storehouse, warehouse or other out-house in the day or night
with an intent to commit murder or felony therein, or with the intent to
steal, take or carry away the personal goods of another of any value there-
from, shall be sentenced to the penitentiary for not more than ten years.

This section does not make the offense burglary or a felony; the fact that it appears
in the Code under the sub-division "Burglary," is not material. What crimes are
felonies. Indictment upheld. Bowser v. State, 136 Md. 344.

An. Code, 1924, sec. 37. 1912, sec. 34. 1904, sec. 32. 1888, sec. 29. 1737, ch. 2, sec. 2.
