Still struggling long after everyone else has gone to work.
34d Very little fool pinned by teacher with stick? Get a solicitor. (9)? c - n - a - - - -. I can only think of canvasser.
48a Female attendant in troubled state, having garment twisted at the front (10)? - - t - a - d - s - .
52d foreign priest's preserve(4)? - u - e.

52d Cure (with accent on the e! for the priest)

[sarumite]

34d I think canvasser (solicitor) is right

Caner (teacher with stick) + V (very little) + Ass (fool)

[Parsfan]

Are you sure the T is correct? Looks like stewardess.

48a is stewardess. In troubled state= in a stew. Garment= dress (rdess). 45d is exe(river)cute(charming). Execute= discharge (eg a duty) Think this xword somewhat difficult/obscure. Took me several hours!! Still, it kept me off the streets!

Thank you all. Sorry to reply so late; had to go out all day.
Yes I see it all now. One mistake put me all out.
