Woman has a fine bundle of papers (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sheaf

'bundle of papers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'woman has a fine' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'shea' ().
'has' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a fine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation).
'shea'+'f'='SHEAF'

(Other definitions for sheaf that I've seen before include "Stack, bundle" , "Bundle, of grain stalks say" , "Bundle as of arrows or corn stalks" , "Bundle of several things tied together" , "Tied bundle (of corn)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
