In Stirling, result of trial of drunk patron dumping a kiln (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
not proven
'in stirling result of trial' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'drunk patron dumping a kiln' is the wordplay.
'drunk' is an anagram indicator.
'dumping' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'kiln' becomes 'oven' (I've seen this before).
'patron' with 'a' removed is 'ptron'.
'ptron' with letters rearranged gives 'notpr'.
'notpr'+'oven'='NOT PROVEN'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for not proven that I've seen is " Scottish verdict".)
