 and Mr Arnold\rquote s would, instead, look to have the charges dismissed with prejudice to avoid the possibility of the charges being re-laid.  Mr Arnold, when he spoke, conformed that was his client\rquote s position.
\par 9.\tab I understood their concern well; in my criminal law practice, whenever the Police seek to withdraw, I see it as my job to make sure that is an end to the case, and seek instead to have the prosecution dismissed and the defendant discharged.
\par 10.\tab I listened to Mr Marshall developing his argument and, in 
particular, his submission to the Chief Justice that the appropriate course was to put the informant to the test as to whether the informant proposed to offer any evidence against the Defendants.

have been laid in the first place and that the informant had, in effect, been hoodwinked into bringing the prosecutions.  I expressed my opinion that my client had been led astray by Mr}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs22\insrsid7036972 \~}{\rtlch\fcs1

\'93\'85The more one studies the reported decisions in various Commonwealth and American jurisdictions on the abuse of process doctrine the greater the difficulty there is in determining the ambit of an inherent juris
diction in the Courts to stay criminal proceedings which are on their face perfectly regular.  This difficulty is inherent in the subject-matter for it involves consideration of the nature and limits of the role of the Judge in the administration of crimi
nal justice and, in particular, in }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs22\lang1033\langfe5129\langnp1033\insrsid9324387 relation to th
e control of prosecutorial discretion in bringing and pursuing the case before the Court.  In a sense they are legal issues.  But they also raise questions of considerable constitutional significance concerning the relationship between the three branches 
of government.

\'94 (see s\~357(3)).  The Act envisages that evidence will be called as to what happened at the former trial which is said to have resulted in the relevant acquittal or conviction, including the evidence given at that trial (see s 360)).\'94
