Sorry but I have just noticed another clue where my entry doesn’t agree with yours.

At 17d I have ‘jumped-up’ with the magistrate being JP. PP as an abbreviation for ‘Public Prosecutor’ isn’t recognised by Chambers, COED or Collins.

Yes, one or two to think about today. I think you will find that 4a is ‘keyboard’ rather than ‘pegboard’.
