Clause 29 of the 1297 version of the Magna Carta reads: “NO Freeman shall be taken or imprisoned, or be disseised of his Freehold, or Liberties, or free Customs, or be outlawed, or exile, or any other wise destroyed; nor will We not pass upon him, nor condemn him, but by lawful judgment of his Peers, or by the Law of the land. We will see to no man, we will not deny or defer to any man either Justice or Right.”
