thanks for those,also need 28a The poor cabbie,finally caught by modified speed gun ?e?e ?e ?e? 4,2,3 assume its an anagramof speed gun?

28a gens de peu
I don't know what a gens de peu is, but I do know that this is the answer to the clue. It's an anagram of speed gun, plus the letter e ("...cabbie, finally caught..."); i.e. the final letter of cabbie.

Thanks,Chambers confirms the meaning is correct for "poor"
