Remitted the said money (4)
I believe the answer is:
sent
'remitted' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the said money' is the wordplay.
'the said' shows a homophone (sound like).
'money' becomes 'cent' (I've seen this before).
'cent' is a homophone of 'SENT'.
(Other definitions for sent that I've seen before include "charged with emotion?" , "Noiseless" , "Caused to go somewhere" , "Dispatched" , "Despatched" .)
