Last two - dreaded either/or ones 37dn put into prison (6) ?a?led jailed or gaoled. 44ac beat up (7) as?a?l? assault or assails - any suggestions gratefully received thanks.
'beat up' can be ASSAULT but can't be ASSAILS as the clue would have to be 'beats up'.
I don't know regarding GAOLED and JAILED. Our spelling was always gaol (with Jail being the US spelling) when I was at school and I still see that used, so my preference would be GAOLED
