aggravation, irritation, provocation]
2: something that incites or provokes; a means of arousing or
stirring to action [syn: incitement, incitation,
provocation]

vigorous investigation" [syn: provocation, incitement] |
PROVOCATION

2. Provocation simply, unaccompanied by a crime or misdemeanor, does
not justify the person provoked to commit an assault and battery. In cases
of homicide, it may reduce the offence from murder to manslaughter. But when
the provocation is given for the purpose of justifying or excusing an
intended murder, and the party provoked is killed, it is no justification. 2
Gilb. Ev. by Lofft, 753.
3. The unjust provocation by a wife of her husband, in consequence of

1 Russ. on Cr. B. 3, c. 1, s. 1, page 434, and B. 3, c. 3, s. 1, pa e 486; 1
East, P. C. 232 to 241.
