Last 2 22d Alegal procedure of a court? (6) a?r?a? It looks like atrial, but why? a trial is obvious as a legal procedure, but what has the heart to do with anything? Please explain. 3d I run on street bumping inot old carriage to start with (7) ?I?STA?

[factor-fiction]

I think Atrial can mean upper chamber (stems from atrium) do maybe part of a court of law is known as an atrial.

22d Atrial ( of the atria in the heart)
3d. Firstly ( I run = ir, on street = st , old carriage= fly)

[maggiekay]

Atria is Latin for a court, or open space within a building.

Maggiekay has the right solution, mention of heart was a bit misleading.
