A word is to be removed from each clue before solving
40a Box for one nag to carry Georgia's furry carnivore (8) TR?ET?A?
looks like tree toad (but that's 2 words and it's in chambers ...preamble says it isn't in chambers) but can't parse anyway??

35d Dispute with bachelor for jeering active vulgarian (4) PLE?
wiktionary gives PLET as a dispute but it's not in chambers and how would that parse please?

25 Plea = dispute (it's in Chambers). Put B for bachelor instead of a for active and you get Pleb, vulgarian.

Pleb - you've changed the Plea, dispute and you want to end up with a vulgarian.
