If any Forrester parke-keeper or warreiner or any in their company shall kill an offendor in their Forrest parke or warren which after Huy and Cry levied to keepe the peace and to obey the Law will not yeild themselves but will flie or defend themselves by violence this is no felony if there were no former malice in such keeper Cromp. 30. But if any such keeper by reason of any former malice will lay to a mans charge that he came to doe hurt whereas he did not neither was found wandring nor offending and so kill him this is murder in such keeper Burglarie CHAP. 16. 1. BUrglarie is when one or more in the night time doe breake a dwelling house or a Church or the walls or gates of a City 22. E. 3. Dalton 231. or walled Towne with an intent to doe felony although he or they carry away nothing yet it is felony of death 2. First for the time Br. Cor. 125. Stamf. 30. Co. 11. 36. Burglary cannot be committed in the day time but only in the night for all indictments of Burglary be Quod noctantur fregit And the night to this purpose beginneth at the Sun setting and continueth to the Sun rising And therefore to breake a house c. after the Sun setting and before it be darke or after day light in Summer and before the Sun riseth is Burglarie 3. Next Stamf. 30. Dyer 99. Br. Cor. 106. for the manner it is holden by some good opinions that if a man breake the house to doe felony and yet entreth not it is no Burglary and that the indictment must be fregit intravit And yet by the opinion of Shard 27. Ass 38. and by the opinions of Sir Anthony Browne Sir Edward Montague and Sir Robert Brooke late chiefe Iustice of the common pleas Cromp. 31. 32. 33. and others as Maister Crompton reporteth if a man doe but attempt or enterprise to breake or enter into a dwelling house by night to the intent to rob or kill any person there though he make no actuall entry there yet it is a full and compleat Burglary for if he doe but put in his hand or foot it is an entrie in Law although his whole body were not in Also to put backe the leafe of a window with his dagger to draw the latch of the doore to turne but the key being on the Inner side of the doore or to breake the glasse window and to draw out any goods there with a hooke c. or to breake a hole in the wall Dalton pag. 231. 232. and to shoote in thereby at any in the house in all these cases it is Burglary 4. So likewise the doore being opened by some of the house if any the attempters shall discharge a dag against any in the house and in discharging his dag shall hold his hand over the threshold though he set no foot over this is Burglary So if upon attempt of Burglary they within the house shall cast out their money for feare Dalton ib. and the attempters take it away in all these cases it is Burglary and yet there is no actuall entrie made in any of these cases 5. But if a Theefe setteth but his foot over the threshold or into any part of the house to commit felony this much more shall convict him of Burglary 6. Cromp. 32. Also one being let downe the Chimney in the night to commit felony Dalton ib. it was adjudged burglary by Sir Roger Manwood chiefe Baron and yet he broke not the house 7. So is it to come into a house by the helpe of a key or suddenly to come into the house by night the doores being open and the owner flyeth to his chamber and the offendor is taken shoving at the chamber doore 8. So it is likewise if Theeves pretending that they bee robbed c. shall come to the Constable and pray him to make search for the felons and going with the Constable into a mans house to search they rob the good man of the house this is Burglary 21. El. 9. In like manner if a servant conspiring with another to rob his master shall open his masters doore or window in the night and the other entreth thereat Dalton ib. this is Burglary in the stranger by the opinion of Sir Roger Manwood who was an ingenious and learned Iudge and yet the house was not broken in any of these cases 10. But if one commeth into a house in the day and there hideth himselfe till night and then stealeth any thing out of the house or if any that is lodged in a house in the night goeth out of the house and stealeth some of the goods yet this is no Burglarie but only felony for that he broke not the house the first of these two cases was resolved at Derby Ass 32. El. Cromp. 34. 11. Also if diverse come to commit Burglarie and but one of them entreth and commits it 11. H. 4. 13. the rest standing about the house or not farre of to watch that no helpe shall come this is Burglary in all that company The place 12. Now concerning the place it may be either publique or private publique as the Church or walls or gates of a City or walled Towne private as a dwelling house and here commonly it is no Burglarie unlesse some person be at that time within the house And yet if a man hath a dwelling house and he and all his family upon some occasion are part of the night out of the house Co. 4. 40. and in the meane time one commeth and breaketh the house to commit felony this is Burglary 13. So if a man hath two dwelling houses and sometimes dwelleth at the one Co. 4. 40. and sometimes at the other and hath a family or servants in both and in the night when his servants are out of the house the house is broken by Theeves this is Burglary adjudged 38. Eliz. Cromp. 33. 14. If one breaketh a chamber in any Innes of Court or Chancery or in any Colledge in a university in the night to the intent to commit felony there this is Burglary although there were no person in the same Chamber For that Colledges and houses of Court and Chancery be entire houses whereof such chamber is parcell so that if any person shall be in any other chamber within the same house or Colledge at the same time it is Burglary 2. Ed. 6. Br. Cor. 180. Lamb. 156. 15. Also the breaking in the night of a Stable Barne or other out house adjoyning or neere to the dwelling house to the intent to steale is Burglary though he take nothing 16. At Summer Assizes at Cambridge Anno Domini 1616. two men were

These statutes I have rehearsed the more at large to the end that it may thereby appeare what grieveous oppressions have beene committed in times past by Purveyors and that every man may understand the ease and benefit which the subjects of Ireland enjoy by the royall composition heretofore made and established and now continued in this kingdome Riots Routs and unlawfull assemblies CHAP. 50. 1. ANy one Iustice of peace alone may use all good meanes to prevent a Riot or Rout before it be done Lamb. 184. 34. Ed. 3. 1. P. Iust 18. Dalton pa. 97. and for to stay it whilst it is in doing and in the doing may take and imprison the Riotters and bind them to their good behaviour but being once done and committed one Iustice of peace can neither record the Riot nor make enquiry thereof 14. H. 7. 8. 9. nor assesse any fine nor award any proces nor otherwise medle to punish it Dalton pa. 97. in the nature of a Riot or Rout but only as a Trespasse against the peace or upon the statutes of Northhampton or of forceible entries 2. And yet if one Iustice of peace sitting in a judiciall place as in the Sessions shall see a Riot Cromp. 65. he may command them to be arrested and may make a record thereof and the offendors shall be concluded thereby but if one Iustice of peace shall see a Riot in another place and shall command them to be arrested and shall make a record thereof the offendors shall not be concluded thereby but may traverse it 3. If a Iustice of peace will commit a man to ward pretending untruely that he did a Riot Br. Iudges 2. 10. 9. H 6. ●0 9. Ed. 4. 3. where he did none the party may not have an action of trespasse upon the case against him for an action will not lie against a Iustice or Iudge of Record in a thing that hee doth as Iudge by the opinions in 9. H. 6. 60. 9. E. 4. 3. but if this bee done of malice or corruption he shall be punished for it in the Star-chamber 4. Every Iustice of peace being of and in the County and having notice of any Riot Dyer 210. Rout or unlawfull assembly ought to have a care of the execution of the statute made 13. H. 4. cap. 7. 13. H. 4. 7. viz. that the Riotters c. be arrested and removed for if the statute be not executed by some of the Iustices the two next Iustices of peace shall forfeit each of them 100. l. and every other Iustice of peace within that County in whom there shall be any default shall be fined in the Starchamber 5. And therefore every Iu. of P. of the County 14. H. 7. 9. hearing of any Riot or of any Intention of a Riot without making any precept or tarrying for his fellow Iustice shall doe well to goe himselfe if he be able with his servants or other power of the County if neede be to the place where such persons be so assembled and to suppresse them and all such as he shall finde riotously assembled and armed to arrest them and to force them to put in suretie for the peace or for their good behaviour and for refusing to give such suretie or in default of suretie to imprison them Also he may take away their weapons and armour and seize and prise them for the King 6. 14. H. 7. 10. Br. peace 7. And if the Iu. of P. being come to the place shall not finde the Riotters yet come thither he may leave his servants there to restraine them in their said enterprise or else to arrest such offendors when they shall come if they shall offer to commit any Riot or to breake the peace 7. So if the Iu. be sicke and shall heare of a Riot he may send his servants or other power of the County if need be as it seemeth to the place to represse it or to arrest such offendors and to bring them before him to finde sureties for the peace and all this he may doe 14. H. 7. 10. Br. peace 17. and command by word of mouth without any warrant in writing and without expecting the comming of any his fellow Iustices or of the Sheriffe or
