=XVIII. Where Anyone Teases an Animal and is Injured by it, he Alone shall be Responsible for the Injury.= Whoever shall provoke a vicious ox, dog, or any other animal, to attack him, shall alone be responsible for any damage resulting to himself from the attack of said animal. =ANCIENT LAW.= =XIX. Where a Dog that has been Irritated, whether the Provocation was Wanton or not, is Proved to have Injured, or Killed Anyone.= Where a dog bites another person not his owner, and said person is known to have been crippled or killed, in consequence thereof, no responsibility shall attach to the owner of the dog, unless it shall be proved that he caused said dog to make the attack. If, however, he should encourage his dog to seize a thief, or any other criminal, and the latter should be bitten while in flight, and should be crippled, or die from the effects of the bite, the owner of said dog shall incur no liability therefor. But if he should cause said dog to injure an innocent person, he must render satisfaction according to law, in the same manner as if he himself had inflicted the wound. =ANCIENT LAW.= =XX. Concerning a Vicious Dog.= Where a vicious dog, belonging to anyone, kills sheep, or destroys other animals, and is caught, the owner of said dog must, as soon as he is notified, surrender it to him whose sheep were first injured, in order that he may kill it. If, however, he should be unwilling to kill the dog himself, or surrender him, as aforesaid, the owner of the dog shall be liable to double the value of any animals thereafter destroyed by him. =FLAVIUS CHINTASVINTUS, KING.= =XXI. Concerning Injuries to Clothing.= Whoever, at any time, cuts the clothing of another, or tears it, or so soils it that the spots cannot be removed without injury to the garment, shall be responsible for said act, and shall give the owner a new garment of equal value. Should he, however, not own such a garment, he shall be compelled to give to the owner the value of a new one, similar to that which he spoiled; and he shall be entitled to the one that was damaged. If the guilty person should be a slave, and his master should refuse to grant satisfaction for his act, he must at once surrender said slave to be punished according to the degree of the crime. =ANCIENT LAW.= =XXII. Where a Trespasser Falls into a Trap set for Wild Animals.= Where a person sets traps for wild animals in his vineyard or field, and anyone, while attempting to commit a theft, should be caught in any of said traps, the party injured shall alone be to blame, for the reason that he was trespassing on the premises of another. =ANCIENT LAW.= =XXIII. He who sets Snares or Traps for Wild Beasts, must Inform his Neighbors of the Places where said Snares are Set.=
