Reference for Bava Kamma 3:10

יֵשׁ חַיָּב עַל מַעֲשֵׂה שׁוֹרוֹ וּפָטוּר עַל מַעֲשֵׂה עַצְמוֹ, פָּטוּר עַל מַעֲשֵׂה שׁוֹרוֹ וְחַיָּב עַל מַעֲשֵׂה עַצְמוֹ. שׁוֹרוֹ שֶׁבִּיֵּשׁ, פָּטוּר, וְהוּא שֶׁבִּיֵּשׁ, חַיָּב. שׁוֹרוֹ שֶׁסִּמֵּא אֶת עֵין עַבְדּוֹ, וְהִפִּיל אֶת שִׁנּוֹ, פָּטוּר, וְהוּא שֶׁסִּמֵּא אֶת עֵין עַבְדּוֹ, וְהִפִּיל אֶת שִׁנּוֹ, חַיָּב. שׁוֹרוֹ שֶׁחָבַל בְּאָבִיו וְאִמּוֹ, חַיָּב, וְהוּא שֶׁחָבַל בְּאָבִיו וְאִמּוֹ, פָּטוּר. שׁוֹרוֹ שֶׁהִדְלִיק אֶת הַגָּדִישׁ בְּשַׁבָּת, חַיָּב, וְהוּא שֶׁהִדְלִיק אֶת הַגָּדִישׁ בְּשַׁבָּת, פָּטוּר, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא מִתְחַיֵּב בְּנַפְשׁוֹ:

Sometimes one is liable for the act of his ox and not liable for his own act; and sometimes he is not liable for the act of his ox and is liable for his own act. If his ox shamed (a man), he (the owner) is not liable, [it being written (Leviticus 24:19): "a man … in his fellow," and not "an ox in his fellow." Or else, there is no liability for shaming without intent to shame, which does not obtain with an ox.]; if he shamed (a man) he is liable. If his ox blinded his bondsman's eye or knocked out his tooth, he is not liable, [and his bondsman does not gain his freedom thereby]; if he blinded his bondsman's eye or knocked out his tooth, he is liable, [viz. (Exodus 21:26-27): "free shall he send him."] If his ox struck his father or his mother, he is liable [for damages]; if he struck his father or his mother, he is exempt [from payment, a man not being put to death and also being made to pay.] If his ox set fire to a (grain) stack on Shabbath, he is liable [a half-nezek, this being a deviation from the norm]; if he set fire to a stack on Shabbath, he is not liable, for he incurs the death penalty.
