19ac. Cases of private ownnership legitimise country folk.(6) -e-p-e I think it must be people. 20dn. Cathedral dignitary's job going round see or turning up. (7) --o-o-t I think must be provost. I just need these two to finish. Are they correct and if so why?

Thanks for the answer but where does the v come from?

[JULIEWOOLIE]

Hi K snap!

[Lie-in King]

Hi Julie & thumbscrew -

11d Incident room - anag 'monitored in' + c(rime)
15a Pen-i-ten-t - 'Pen' (write) + 'it' (thing) about 'ten' (cardinal number)

V(atican City) = the Holy See

Anag monoitored in +c (crime first)=Incident room
