Magistrate imprisoning daughter for deception (5)
I believe the answer is:
dodge
'deception' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'magistrate imprisoning daughter' is the wordplay.
'magistrate' becomes 'doge' (doge is a kind of magistrate).
'imprisoning' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'doge' going around 'd' is 'DODGE'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for dodge that I've seen before include "Step sideways to evade" , "Evade - trick" , "Wheeze" , "Avoid or evade by bodily movement" , "shady scheme" .)
