The High Court declined to decide the merits because the case stated was improperly framed and omitted the specific question of law sought; the Attorney General was not a party aggrieved by the magistrate's prior legal finding that there was a case to answer, and therefore the court would not entertain the appeal on the question advanced by the Crown; additionally, stopping a case as trier of fact is distinct from finding no case as a matter of law and should be exercised sparingly.
