Law lord say recalled in good Parisian club (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bludgeon

'club' is the definition.
(both can mean a heavy weapon)

'law lord say recalled in good parisian' is the wordplay.
'law lord' becomes 'lud' (term used in law as in m'lud, my lord).
'say' becomes 'eg' (both can mean 'for example').
'recalled' says the letters should be written in reverse (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'good parisian' becomes 'bon' ('good' in French).
'eg' back-to-front is 'ge'.
'lud'+'ge'='ludge'
'ludge' placed within 'bon' is 'BLUDGEON'.

(Other definitions for bludgeon that I've seen before include "Bully; heavy weapon" , "Blunt instrument" , "Beat repeatedly with a heavy object" , "Club used maliciously" , "Stick or club with a heavy end" .)
