Messages Terry in London, for example, over hits (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

telegrams

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'messages' is the definition.
(I know this)

'terry in london for example over hits' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'example' could be 'eg' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin) and 'eg' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for telegrams that I've seen is " Urgent messages".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
