Syllabus

<p>Burglary—whether a “stable” is a “building.’’ An indictment for burglary-averred that the “defendant broke and entered a stable,” without also averring the stable was a “building.” On the objection that it would not be presumed a stable was a “building,” but the fact ought to be averred in order to bring the case within the statute in relation to burglary, it was held the objection was not well taken. , A “ stable,” as that word is commonly used, is a “building,” and may well be included in the class of structures denominated in the statute as “other buildings.”</p>
