Conduct (oneself) (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

behave

acquit

(Other definitions for acquit that I've seen before include "Free (from charge)" , "Release" , "Absolve" , "Declare (someone) not guilty of a crime" , "Declare to be innocent of a crime" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The Telegraph, The Independent, The Sunday Times, The Times, the Irish Times (Simplex) and the Newsday.com.
