Australian bounder in court? (8)
I believe the answer is:
kangaroo
This clue could be a double definition.
'australian bounder' is the first definition.
'kangaroo' can be an answer for 'bounder' (animal which bounds around). I'm not certain of the 'australian' bit.
'court?' is the second definition.
(kangaroo court is a kind of court)
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kangaroo that I've seen before include "Progress with poor clutch control" , "One's jumpy" , "Australian animal -- a no-go ark (anag)" , "Marsupial (two friends of 19)" , "Illegal court of marsupial origin?" .)
