More Questions

On page 348-349, chapter 42. When Magwitch is talking about his life story and what has happened to him. He gets to the part where he and Compeyson were fighting in the ditch after hes told who Compeyson is. Magwitch mentions his misstris, but then stops and goes on to tell Pip and Herbert about how he got convicted. He also mentions that Compeyson was better at everything and that he was a great speaker and well educated, but that was after he told about the fight. I am wondering if Magwitch was fighting Compeyson because of Magwitch's misstris like maybe they had an affair or something? Or was Magwitch fighting Compeyson because he just couldn't stand the fact that Compeyson was better than him and was more educated than him?
