26 For example, William Lambarde, Eirenarcha: or the office of the Justices of Peace (London: 1588), pp.<br />
261-3. William Lambarde w<strong>as</strong> a lawyer. His first definition of burglary w<strong>as</strong> ‘at night only’ (<strong>as</strong> opposed to<br />
robbery at day). Second, that burglary may be committed simply by breaking in, though nothing may be<br />
taken. He then went onto describe that the definition had lately changed and that the place which w<strong>as</strong><br />
broken into must be a dwelling-house, and that a person should be within the house at the time of the<br />
burglary. This clearly caused confusion, <strong>as</strong> Lambarde then went onto describe barns which were<br />
adjoined to dwelling houses etc.<br />
