Statutory text (English)

If
the act for which the abettor is liable under the last preceding section is committed in addition to the
act abetted, and constitutes a distinct offence, the abettor is liable to punishment for each of the
offences.

Illustration
A instigates B to resist by force a distress made by a public servant. B, in consequence, resists
that distress. In offering the resistance, B voluntarily causes grievous hurt to the officer executing the
distress. As B has committed both the offence of resisting the distress, and the offence of voluntarily
causing grievous hurt, B is liable to punishment for both these offences ; and, if A new that B was
likely voluntarily to cause grievous hurt in resisting the distress A will also be liable to punishment for
each of the offences.
