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)

Internationalism
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)
