Thank you novalis...didn't think of Wales for the principality!
3 - Possibly dashed. Chambers Crossword Dictionary gives dash as a synonym of bribe.
Not sure of this as the clue is "on" rather than "in"
3 Booked (charged by police) = hook (bribe) "in" bed(plot) (with extra letter H)
There are some quite obscure synonyms in the clues -

DASH = 'bribe' and the extra letter is 'b' in [b]ED

'went' is the def for (a Scand word) TRINED - 'hauled aboard' = TRI[c]ED with 'c' extra around N(ote).
