Sacked any spirited paid magistrate? (11)
I believe the answer is:
stipendiary
'paid magistrate?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'sacked any spirited' is the wordplay.
'sacked' indicates anagramming the letters.
'any'+'spirited'='anyspirited'
'anyspirited' with letters rearranged gives 'STIPENDIARY'.
(Other definitions for stipendiary that I've seen before include "I'm paid for my work" , "Paid official" , "Paid magistrate" , "allowance" .)
