Inn artist condemned on the way (2,7)
I believe the answer is:
in transit
'on the way' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'inn artist condemned' is the wordplay.
'condemned' is an anagram indicator.
'inn'+'artist'='innartist'
'innartist' anagrammed gives 'IN TRANSIT'.
(Other definitions for in transit that I've seen before include "While being conveyed" , "En route" , "on the move?" , "during journey" , "while travelling" .)
