AL[D]I + T??

Hi crackabilly, in your order given;
2. 4 letter homophone of a 5 letter word describing a beautiful woman
5. The usual a for academician + a homophone of off his trolley (uncommon word)
6. 5 letter short legged sheep + a gives the hen
7. Mature as a Surname
9. legless = definition, L (lecturer) in a 6 letter word for bed shortened to 5
10. Tiny + "this" could anagram to by-election.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ginge & thanks Tatters & Malone,
Thankfully 1229 is a lot easier - I'll keep plugging!
