Definition is Legal excuses - persist regularly so take the even numbered letters + on + 3 letter word for certainly...but the N of on goes after the first letter of that 3 letter word.
40 across - Definition is Old vessel. You need a five letter word for outdated minus its last letter + the usual abbreviation for north. The more common definition of the five letter word for outdated is water vapour.
