7 Sacculi

10d lues (pip & lies = syphilis) with b at the top = blues = depression.

I'm stuck on 23d with l??es

Stupid auto correct that should be lues = pip!

23d is limes but can't work out why.

 

Limes is a boundary of the Roman Empire.

Double definition - Trinidad and Tobago word for hanging out

Thanks newmodarmy & dcem, I knew the boundary bit but not the hanging bit.

Could anyone tell me how to parse 8d? I suppose "in the vestibule" is the definition, but the rest has me stumped.

Sacculi - 'sac' (conveyance) + 'culi(nary)'

Chambers - sac (old Eng law) n the conveyance to a lord of manor of certain rights of jurisdiction, eg holding courts

Thanks!

You're welcome 😊
