On Motion for Rehearing.
Appellee urges on motion for rehearing that appellant has no pleading sufficiently broad on which to base, the defense that the fight was brought about through language used of appellant’s president in the presence of his son-in-law, Brockstein, but has pleaded merely that the fight was provoked through abusive language used of Brockstein. This seems to be correct. But, as appellant proved on the trial that it was justified in discharging appellee, but under defective pleading, it would be unjust to affirm the judgment. Waldo v. Galveston, H. & S. A. Ry. Co., Tex.Com.App., 50 S.W.2d 274. The motion for rehearing is granted, and the cause is remanded for a new trial.
PLEASANTS, C. J., absent.
