Repeal
The Acts regulating badgers were repealed in 1772 by 12 Geo III, c 71, An Act for repealing several laws therien mentioned against Badgers, Engrossers, Forestallers, and Regrators and for indemnifying Person against Prosecutions for Offences committed against the said Acts. However, it was found not to have effectually repealed them because of repeated prohibitions in previous Acts. Another repealing act was required in 1844 when 7 & 8 Vic. c.24 An Act for abolishing the Offences of Forestalling, regrating and engrossing, and for repealing certain Statutes passed in restraint of Trade, finally tidied up law by repealing 19 other Acts passed between the reigns of Henry III and Edward VI.

“I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution.”
—Ulysses S. Grant (1822–1885)
“Slavery is founded in the selfishness of man’s nature—opposition to it, is [in?] his love of justice.... Repeal the Missouri compromise—repeal all compromises—repeal the declaration of independence—repeal all past history, you still can not repeal human nature. It still will be the abundance of man’s heart, that slavery extension is wrong; and out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth will continue to speak.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution.”
