The demurrer was properly overruled. ‍​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‍The indictment was against the individual, and not the *463house or ‍​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‍building. State v. Crogan, 8 Iowa, 523. We find no precedent, either in the ‍​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‍text books or cases, requiring a more ‘definite description. 3 Chitty’s ‍​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‍Cr. Law, 672, et seq. The King v. Taylor, 3 B. & C., 502; 2 Hill, 558. ‍​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‍Our statute does not require it.
