Bishop Saint leaving foul smell where tramps hang about? (5)
I believe the answer is:
bench
'foul smell where tramps hang about?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'bishop saint' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'saint' becomes 'ench' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'b'+'ench'='BENCH'
'leaving' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bench that I've seen before include "Pew or settle" , "Laboratory work table" , "Exhibit at dog show" , "Magistrates collectively" , "Group of magistrates" .)
