“The French who must leave get a measure of land.” – ACRE is the measure of land, but can you explain the rest?

Ah yes, that was what I meant – two words then. What was the clue to 27dn?

Don’t think there was anything to highlight other Whyte Notation. Anyone got a solution to the wordplay for 27D?
