Very sorry Kwizzer - spelled your name wrong

Still stuck on no.15 “.... at wages of sailors on the Sabbath”.
Have several 3/4 words for a sailor ie salt, tar, crew, hand but not getting anywhere. Any more clues would be appreciated please and thanks.

You have just been given more clues to this and your others on AB

^^^^ bump ^^^^

Ok got it now thanks. Will plod on with the rest myself as I am sure many of my answers are incorrect so will need to recheck them all.

Thank you kwizzer and malone for your kind words. I will keep trying and hopefully complete before the closing date but will not worry if I don’t.

I am still confused over:-
85. crafty inmate whose name suggests that he could make the feathers fly. (8) and
71. He had an unusual post at the Central Criminal Court and was booked for it (3.1.4.)
Can any one point me in the right direction here please?

85. Need to cast your mind back to an old tv comedy featuring a prison and the main character who always beat the system.

71. Need to follow the clues in the question. Crown Office initially + rotten (meaning anagram) apple with 'a' way........
