Translation:Shulchan Aruch/Choshen Mishpat/392

Paragraph 1- If a dog took a coal and went to a haystack belonging to the owner of the coal and placed it on the haystack, ate the bread and lit the haystack, the owner would pay for the full damage of the bread and the place where the coal was placed and would pay half the damage of the haystack. If the animal was dragging the bread on the haystack and going and burning it, the owner would pay full damage for the coal, half damage for the area where the coal was placed and would be exempt on the rest of the haystack. There are those who say he would be liable for half the damage of the entire haystack. When is this true? Where the owner of the coal guarded his coal and closed the door and the dog came and dug and took the coal from the fire. If the owner did not guard his coal properly, however, the owner of the fire would be liable for the burning of the haystack and the owner of the dog would be responsible for the eating of the coal and the damage to the area where it was placed. There are those who say that each would pay half of the area of the coal and on the remainder of the haystack the owner of the dog would give ¼ while the owner of the coal would give ¾. If the dog threw the coal on the haystack, the owner of the dog would even pay ¼ on the area where the coal landed, and the owner of the coal would pay ¾.
