11. Not only is he liable to the actio injuriarum who has inflicted the injury, as, for instance, the person who has struck the blow; but he also who has maliciously caused or contrived that any one should be struck in the face with the fist.
12. This actio is extinguished by a person dissembling to have received the injury; and therefore, a person who has taken no account of the injury, that is, who immediately on receiving it has shown no resentment at it, cannot afterwards change his mind and resuscitate the injury he has allowed to rest.
