Freshly allocated a couple of shillings, breaking rule (8)

I have: ?E?S?I?G

Could it be Welshing?

If it is, I can't parse it.

Greatly welcome suggestions or solutions.

Enigma

Reassign - reign is rule, and 'a ss', a couple of shillings fits in the middle (breaking).

Many thanks Malone.

Completely misinterpreted the clue.

Although, I have to say, the Jumbo Cryptic this week was much less of a challenge than the regular Saturday cryptic.

Enigma

Another Times typo? Should be 'allocate' in the clue, I think.

I thought exactly the same thing, otherwise the definition is past tense and the answer is present.
