12 Co- Ordination - your I could be wrong

8d try assembly

13 Malefactor - (m)arried + f ALE actor (factor being the land agent)...malefactor is a criminal. I seem to recall that this has been answered before?

and the defn appears to be someone "pinching drink for example" = Malefactor. I don't like this clue

Ah! Malefactor! I was thinking benefactor.

Co-ordination is right but l now realise that 8d has 10 letters not 8- so sorry! Assembly would have been good but l blew it. l now have _ _ _ _ O_E_T_

Many thanks to you both for your help so far .
