Stand in Lawman Island? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dais

'stand' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'lawman island?' is the wordplay.
'lawman' becomes 'da'.
'island?' becomes 'is'.
'da'+'is'='DAIS'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for dais that I've seen before include "Throne platform" , "Raised floor" , "stepping up here?" , "Said (anag.)" , "Piece of old cloth" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
