I haven't cracked this one yet — but the brilliant team at Times for the Times have:
SWINE (rogues) containing [netting] D (500) + L (£). I wondered if there should be a reversal indicator for L D here, but concluded that in speech £500 translates as ‘five-hundred pounds’ (D, L) in which case the abbreviations are correctly placed for insertion.
