Thank you so much everyone.

If 14ac is Corneille then my 3d (lenient) is wrong - the clue for 3d is "The French soldiers are in court for showing mercy" and becomes L?E?E?T

If 1ac is "no ball" then what is 2d "Light died on ship withdrawn finally in former navy (4,7)" B?R?/LANTERN (?)

1a No Dice

2d Dark Lantern

3d Clement
