Long Arm Of The Law C/d 25Th March

[hellywelly4]

I have two I haven't been able to solve, although I have seen the answer for one given on this site. That one is:
I must have put on weight! 6 letters. Answer given was Motion but there is no reference in the clue to it having a French connection. (moi and ton). Shall I go with that one or has anyone else a different idea?

The other one is: Dingbat! 5 letters. Help, please!

REBUS = Dingbat

Dingbt puzzle (UK) = Rebus puzzle (USA)
Inspector John Rebus (Ian Rankin)

JJ109 - Wonderful, many thanks.

If you must have something, you ITCH for it. Put on ST - weight
STITCH. To stitch someone in law is to falsely incriminate. Hope this is not too involved

Thank you Dave. I think I will go with what I've got. Thanks for your help, though.

emmie - I have gone with Rebus, as all the answers relate to the law in some way. Thanks for your suggestion, though xx
