impeach

'find fault with what's found' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'centre of lime fruit' is the wordplay.
'centre of' means to look at the middle letters.
'fruit' becomes 'peach' (peach is a kind of fruit**).
The middle letters of 'lime' are 'im'.
'im'+'peach'='impeach'

'in the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for impeach that I've seen before include "Criticise" , "Bring an accusation against" , "Charge a public official with an offence" , "Charge with treason, etc" , "call into question" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
