Commentary for Bava Kamma 47:14

נמצאת כת שלישית זוממת כולן חייבין ועל זה נאמר (דברים יט, יט) ועשיתם לו כאשר זמם וגו'

The practical difference becomes evident when three sets of witnesses appear on the same day [and testify to three cases of goring that occurred previously on three different days]. If the three days apply to [the goring of] the cattle there would in this case be a declaration of <i>Mu'ad</i>;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Though the evidence was given in one day. ');">²²</span> but, if the three days refer to the warning given the owner, there would in this case be no declaration of <i>Mu'ad</i>, as the owner may say: 'They have only just now testified against me [while the law requires this to be done on three different days].'
