A nolle prosequi entered with the consent—implied in the order—required to reinstate the prosecution at a future date, so that 'the solicitor (without further order) may have the case restored for trial.' Since the indictment is not discharged by a nolle prosequi with leave, the statute of limitations remains tolled.
