I cannot solve the following:

9down.
Long article about a provincial Greek (7)
??H???N

10down
Going on in a book about former government department (5)
??O??

12down
Society sycophant poor at character-forming activity? (8)
??R???E?

18across
Defeat that's painful after hour on plain (9)
O?????R??

39across
Trial being manipulated, like Trial by Jury? (10)
???B?R?I??

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in anticipation.

39a I think it's Gilbertian.

Yes it could be either by the anagram - i went with liberating due to the trial connection - if there a connection to Gilbert I'm very happy to be corrected :-)
