his

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

'that chap's a bit' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'of a chiseller' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'HIS' can be found hidden inside 'chiseller'.

Can you help me to learn more?
