Brilliant al_issner! thanks. Still not convinced re ARREST for 16D - anyone explain the Derby link?

I think CONTENT is okay as in SUBSTANCE but also I'm happy with so to speak.

Not seeing ARREST yet

How about BIPED for 1A ?

Thanks, flummoxed. "smiles modestly" :-)
I can see arrest=stop, but like you struggling with the Derby link.....

Thinking Derby = rams for 16d maybe cramps

Sorry, dunderheid, but 16d. can't be "cramps" - its checked letters are .r.e.t !

Think CONTENT is correct for 23a. Chambers defines as substance and also methinks content/malcontent is something to do with votes in House of Lords? Just need the Derby exlanation or an alternative for ARREST now!

Okay - can you see what I did there?

Derby handcuff was the one used by Peelers so Derby = handcuff = arrest.
