For example, Sikes’s account? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bill

I believe this is a double definition.

'for example sikes's' is the first definition.
(Bill Sikes from Oliver Twist is an example)

'account?' is the second definition.
(billing is a kind of accounting)

(Other definitions for bill that I've seen before include "beak demanded" , "following 28 [SILVER]" , "Poster; statement" , "Narrow promontory" , "amount owed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
