/ɹiˈpiɫ/, /ɹɪˈpiɫ/

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  REPEAL, legislation. The abrogation or destruction of a law by a legislative 
  act. 
       2. A repeal is express; as when it is literally declared by a 
  subsequent law or implied, when the new law contains provisions contrary to 
  or irreconcilable with those of the former law. 
       3. A law may be repealed by implication, by an affirmative as well as 
  by a negative statute, if the substance is inconsistent with the old 
  statute. 1 Ham. 10: 2 Bibb, 96; Harper, 101; 4 W. C. C. R. 691. 
       4. It is a general rule that when a penal statute punishes an offence 
  by a certain penalty, and a new statute is passed imposing a greater or a 
  lesser penalty, for the same offence, the former statute is repealed by 
  implication. 5 Pick. 168; 3 Halst. 48; 1 Stew. 506; 3 A. K. Marsh. 70; 21 
  Pick. 373. See 1 Binn. 601; Bac. Ab. Statute D 7 Mass. 140. 
       5. By the common law when a statute repeals another, and afterwards the 
  repealing statute is itself repealed, the first is revived. 2 Blackf. 32. In 
  some states this rule has been changed, as in Ohio and Louisiana. Civ. Code 
  of:Louis. art. 23. 
       6. When a law is repealed, it leaves all the civil rights of the 
  parties acquired under the law unaffected. 3. L. R. 337; 4 L. R. 191; 2 
  South. 689; Breese, App. 29; 2 Stew. 160. 
       7. When a penal statute is repealed or so modified as to exempt a class 
  from its operation, violations committed before the repeal are also 
  exempted, unless specifically reserved, or unless there have been some 
  private right divested by it. 2 Dana, 330; 4 Yeates, 392; 1 Stew. 347; 5 
  Rand. 657; 1 W. C. C. R. 84; 2 Virg. Cas. 382. Vide Abrogation; 18 Vin. Ab. 
  118.
