Crosswording recently I came upon a clue which read:- "Girl in PR points to dosser" (7) Other entries gave me P_N_I_R, so the obvious answer was "Pannier" but I could not find any other listing in my dictionaries other ther than:- "A person who sleeps rough, a hobo or tramp. (source, general usage).

BUT, here are another two:-

Source: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) Dosser \Dos"ser\, n. [LL. dosserum, or F. dossier bundle of  papers, part of a basket resting on the back, fr. L. dorsum   back. See Dorsal, and cf. Dosel.] [Written also dorser   and dorsel.]   1. A pannier, or basket.

To hire a ripper's mare, and buy new dossers. --Beau. & Fl.

2. A hanging tapestry; a dorsal.

Do hope this helps someone!
