Last two, and I can't make any sense of them
1a Number officer beat soundly (7) --C-I-E
1d As a body, mounted action(7) --R-A-E

The across one I wonder if the definition is number, but perhaps as a verb, with something to do with a word that sound like beat
The down one, drivers=cars? but mounted action, something to with horses?
No idea really, so any help gratefully received.

1d carcase

CO caine.

Many thanks, jazzgirl and rusty. I see the cocaine one CO= (commanding officer) and caine (pulls ear)=beat. Why the number?
I see I left a bit out of the down clue, too!
Driver=car action=case, definition= body.

number + something that numbs

Love it!

Hiya smiffy,
Drivers = RAC - mounted (going up) + Case (action in court)
