Squints at noblemen (5)

I believe the answer is:

peers

This clue is a double definition.

'squints at' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'noblemen' is the second definition.
(peer is a kind of nobleman)

(Other definitions for peers that I've seen before include "Looks searchingly" , "Looks closely at equals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and the Sydney Morning Herald.
