The Habeas Corpus Act 1640 (16 Car 1 c 10) was an Act of the Parliament of England. The Act was passed by the Long Parliament shortly after the impeachment and execution of Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford in 1641 and before the English Civil War. It abolished the Star Chamber.〔'Book 1, Ch. 11: Charles I', A New History of London: Including Westminster and Southwark (1773), pp. 154-74.

J. Sharpe, ''The Law of Habeas Corpus'' (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1989), 18.〕 The writ was amended by the Habeas Corpus Act 1679. The words of commencement were repealed by section 1 of, and Schedule 1 to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1948. The whole Act, so far as not otherwise repealed, was repealed by section 8(2) of, and Part I of Schedule 5 to, the Justices of the Peace Act 1968. ==Preamble== In the preamble, the words from "and by another Statute made in the six and thirtieth" to "inrolled in Latine" were repealed by section 1 of, and Schedule 1 to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1948. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Habeas Corpus Act 1640」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
