Siman 408 of 427 in Choshen Mishpat — 2 se'ifim

הלכות נזקי ממוןMonetary Damages· siman 408

Choshen Mishpat is set from the Lemberg 1898 edition, which is unpointed, so the vowels switch has nothing to remove here.

Se’if 1א׳

אין דנין דיני נזיקין אלא בעדות ברורה. ובו ב סעיפים: אין הנזיקים משתלמים אלא בראיה ברורה ובעדים כשרים (ואין מקבלין העדות אלא בפני בעל דין אפי' היה הוא ועדיו חולים) (נ"י פרק כיצד):

They do not judge cases of damages except on clear testimony; it contains two se'ifim. Damages are paid only on clear proof and by valid witnesses (and testimony is not received other than in the presence of the litigant, even if he and his witnesses were sick) (Nimukei Yosef, chapter "How is the foot").

Se’if 2ב׳

שור שהיה רועה ונמצא שור הרוג בצדו אף ע"פ שזה מנוגח וזה מועד ליגח זה מנושך וזה מועד לנשוך אין אומרים בידוע שזה נגחו או נשכו אפי' גמל האוחר בין הגמלים ונמצא הרוג בצדו אין אומרים בידוע שזה הרגו עד שיראוהו עדים כשרים:

If an ox was grazing and an ox was found killed beside it — even though this one is gored and that one is forewarned to gore, this one is bitten and that one is forewarned to bite — they do not say, "It is known that this one gored it or bit it"; even a camel in heat among the camels, and one was found killed beside it — they do not say, "It is known that this one killed it", until valid witnesses see it.
