Previous to the assault complainant and prisoner had been joking each other and continued doing so for some little time and then got on to hard words. She said Weston wanted to take indecent liberties with her, and he turned round and said something about a rotten legged sow, making use of bad language at the time. Brown then took the pot from the table and dashed it at him. There provocation on both sides and they teased each other till they got quarrelling.
