 The repeal of clause 36 in 1829, by the Offences against the Person Act 1828 (9 Geo.4 c. 31 s. 1), was the first time a clause of Magna Carta was repealed.Over the next 140 years, nearly the whole of Magna Carta (1297) as statute was repealed, leaving just clauses 1, 9, and 29 still in force (in England and Wales) after 1969.
