under this Chapter, satisfies the Magistrate that there are sufficient grounds
for permitting him to withdraw his complaint against the accused, or if there be
more than one accused, against all or any of them, the Magistrate may permit him
to withdraw the same, and shall thereupon acquit the accused against whom the
complaint is so withdrawn.
