Laws frequently continue in force long after the circumstances which first gave occasion to them, and which could alone render them reasonable, are no more.

法律经常在最初产生法律并使法律合理的情况不复存在之后很长一段时间内继续有效。

The statute of the twelfth of the present king, which repeals almost all the other ancient laws against engrossers and forestallers, does not repeal the restrictions of this particular statute, which therefore still continue in force.

现任国王的第十二条法令废除了几乎所有其他反对侵占者和抢占者的古代法律，但并未废除该特定法令的限制，因此该法令仍然有效。
