Try to carry on (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prosecute

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'try' is the first definition.
(try in a court)

'carry on' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for prosecute that I've seen before include "Practise" , "Bring before a criminal court" , "Bring a criminal action against" , "Sue" , "Take legal action" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
