Abolition of the Star Chamber[edit]

The Star Chamber was abolished by another statute passed a year later. Ulpian (talk) 22:42, 23 November 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Section 3 of the Act says

Be it ordained and enacted by the authority of this present parliament, That the said court commonly called the star-chamber, and all jurisdiction, power and authority belongint unto, or exercised in the same court, or by any the judges, officers or ministeres thereof, be from the first day of August in the year of our Lord God one thousand six hundred forty and one, clearly and absolutely dissolved, taken away, and determined;

So it seems clear that this Act abolished the Star Chamber, as the cited source says. RJC ^Talk_Contribs 05:33, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you are quite right. I was confused by the inconsistent use of short titles of various acts. Thanks for this Ulpian (talk) 22:29, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Internationalism[edit]

The page does not reflect the international importance of habeas corpus and is focused only on the law of England. The repeals of provisions in 1888 were subsequent to the Colonial Law Validity Act of 1865 which arose out of Supreme Court of South Australia's Justice Boothby's trenchant logic regarding the effect of Imperial legislation throughout the empire. Might be nice to actually have the text of the Act available from the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Suastiastu (talk • contribs) 23:58, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
