9s mortar (check your P)

[boxtops]

sorry 9D^^

[boxtops]

27d ought to be something like Pressgang - how many letters is it (hard to tell with the --s)

[Nical]

9D - Looks like 'mortar'
26 A - Looks like 'liver sausage'
35 A - Looks like 'striving'

[boxtops]

26a Liver Sausage

[boxtops]

35a straining

[boxtops]

Striving looks better, if it's 8 letters (I can't see the dashes very well, always better to use ??s)
