Reference for Bava Kamma 8:3

הַמַּכֶּה אֶת אָבִיו וְאֶת אִמּוֹ וְלֹא עָשָׂה בָהֶם חַבּוּרָה, וְחוֹבֵל בַּחֲבֵרוֹ בְּיוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים, חַיָּב בְּכֻלָּן. הַחוֹבֵל בְּעֶבֶד עִבְרִי, חַיָּב בְּכֻלָּן חוּץ מִן הַשֶּׁבֶת, בִּזְמַן שֶׁהוּא שֶׁלּוֹ. הַחוֹבֵל בְּעֶבֶד כְּנַעֲנִי שֶׁל אֲחֵרִים, חַיָּב בְּכֻלָּן. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אֵין לָעֲבָדִים בֹּשֶׁת:

If one strikes his father or his mother without making a wound, and if one wounds his friend on Yom Kippur, he is liable for all (five payments). [And even though throughout the entire Torah, if one commits a transgression entailing stripes and monetary payment, he receives stripes and does not pay, here (on Yom Kippur), he pays and does not receive stripes, Scripture having explicitly stipulated monetary payment and not stripes for wounding one's neighbor, viz. (Deuteronomy 19:21): "a hand for a hand" — monetary payment. Let us analyze this. It is written (Leviticus 24:19): "As he did, so shall it be done to him." Why, then, need it be written: "a hand for a hand"? To include wounding one's neighbor on Yom Kippur as paying and not receiving stripes.] R. Yehudah says: There is no bosheth (payment) to bondsmen, [it being written (Deuteronomy 25:11): "If men fight together, a man and his brother" — one who is subsumed in "brotherhood," to exclude a bondsman, who is not. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Yehudah.]
