Original wise fellow with Scripture who purveys information (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

newsagent

'who purveys information' is the definition.
(someone who sells newspapers)

'original wise fellow with scripture' is the wordplay.
'original' becomes 'new' (similar in meaning).
'wise fellow' becomes 'sage' (I've seen this in another clue).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'scripture' becomes 'NT' (New Testament).
'new'+'sage'+'nt'='NEWSAGENT'

(Other definitions for newsagent that I've seen before include "daily shop" , "paper supplier" , "place selling organs?" , "Shopkeeper selling magazines" , "shop selling rags?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
