11 Before the Appellate Committee Mr. Nicholls submitted , on behalf of the Swedish government , that in committal proceedings in this country the same test is applicable as in the case of a submission by the defendant of no case to answer at the end of the prosecution evidence at his trial .
12 Mr. Nicholls , referring to the speech of Lord Diplock in Haw Tua Tau v. Public Prosecutor [ 1982 ] A.C. 136 , 151 , reserved for the future the argument that this test was too favourable to the defendant .
13 At all events , Mr. Nicholls was content in the present case to proceed on the basis of the law as stated in Reg. v. Galbraith , and on that basis he submitted that the magistrate was entitled , on the evidence before him , to conclude that there was such evidence before him as would justify the committal of the applicant , the question of the reliability of Price 's evidence being a matter for the Swedish court .
14 In support of this submission , Mr. Nicholls relied on the decision of the Court of Appeal in Reg. v. Donat ( 1985 ) 82 Cr.App.R. 173 , in which the Court of Appeal held that , on the facts of that case , in which a prosecution witness under cross-examination retracted evidence which he had given in chief implicating the defendant , the judge did not err in declining to withdraw the case from the jury on a submission of no case to answer , the credibility of the witness being essentially a matter for the jury .
15 I wish to add that , in the course of his submissions , Mr. Nicholls referred the Appellate Committee to Reg. v. Golder [ 1960 ] 1 W.L.R. 1169 , 1172–1173 , in which Lord Parker C.J. , delivering the judgment of the Court of Criminal Appeal , stated :

19 Mr. Nicholls
20 Mr. Nicholls
21 Mr. Nicholls
