Judge eats pork pie in break (6)
I believe the answer is:
relief
'break' is the definition.
(relief is a kind of break)
'judge eats pork pie' is the wordplay.
'judge' becomes 'ref'.
'eats' indicates putting letters inside.
'pork pie' becomes 'lie' ('pork pie' is Cockney rhyming slang for a lie).
'ref' enclosing 'lie' is 'RELIEF'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for relief that I've seen before include "Help or easement" , "Alleviation or support" , "replacement staff member" , "new person on duty" , "outstanding work" .)
