Lawman from area still going round collecting rent (8)
I believe the answer is:
attorney
'lawman from area still' is the definition.
'attorney' can be an answer for 'lawman' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'from area still' bit.
'going round collecting rent' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'round' could be 'o' (round can mean a round object) and 'o' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'rent' is 'trne' which is located in the left over letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for attorney that I've seen before include "Person legally authorised to act for another" , "Lawman" , "Advocate" , "One can help in case" , "Legal representative" .)
