If you post the clue and any placed letters, those without the puzzle may be able to help.

I'm sorry rusty, you're quite right. The clue (Times Jumbo Cryptic 1409, 21 across) is "Stone me, once having settled in illegal state (11) I have C?I?I?A?I?Y.

Having settled is "alit".
Inside an old word/exclamation "criminy".
"Stone me" is a similar exclamation to "criminy".
