The Long Arm of the Law

Can I please have help with the last 4 questions which I haven’t managed to work out?
15. ..... at wages of sailors on the Sabbath (6)
71. ..... and Crown Office initially had rotten apple with a way to speed the process (3,1,4)
88. Kitty showed how goose is cooked (8)
96. Dull writing is abridged by ten - not specified. They are brought before a court (12)

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Thanks - got no. 71! And 88.
Still stuck on 15. Can think of several words for sailors - crew/tars/jack-tar/salt. Etc etc. Am I anywhere near??
96. Yes I have the 5 letter word for “ordinary writing” + 3 letter word for “abridged” but when i come up with a word that makes sense, it has 13 letters not 12 ???

Got No. 96 now so that just leaves no 15.

15 Put a letter in front of crews

Thank you elliemay1. All done but probably not all correct. Never mind, it’s just a bit of fun to keep the old grey matter ticking over!

You're welcome, haeremai. Good luck!
