Uproar in court disturbed by jury’s conclusion (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outcry

'uproar' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'court disturbed by jury's conclusion' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'conclusion' says to take the final letters.
The final letter of 'jury' is 'y'.
'court' anagrammed gives 'outcr'.
'outcr'+'y'='OUTCRY'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for outcry that I've seen before include "Sea eagle" , "Furious protest" , "Vociferous protest" , "commotion" , "Exclamation - clamour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
