I have no idea, and once again, it is completely irrelevant. The common law definition of burglary is the breaking and entering of a dwelling, at night, with the intent to commit a felony therein. How many states have that common law definition? Zero. The common law was derived from England, not the states. The principles of common law are uniform. The states can get rid of them, change them through statute, use them, or whatever. But the common law is the same.
