Account with great weight and beauty read out in Anne Brönte's name (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
acton bell
'anne bronte's name' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'account with great weight and beauty read out' is the wordplay.
'account with' becomes 'ac' (abbreviation for account. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'great weight' becomes 'ton' (I've seen this in another clue).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'beauty' becomes 'belle' (I've seen this before).
'read out' shows a homophone (sound like).
'belle' sounds like 'bell'.
'ac'+'ton'+'bell'='ACTON BELL'
'in' acts as a link.
