Large bundle of money required by court, reportedly (4)
I believe the answer is:
bale
'large bundle' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'money required by court reportedly' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'money' could be 'l' (L can mean 'pounds') and 'l' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bae' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bale that I've seen before include "(Make into a) bundle of hay" , "Bound bundle" , "Bundle (of hay, say)" , "Parcel" , "Group" .)
