אלא מעתה דכתיב (ויקרא ה, ה) והיה כי יאשם לאחת מאלה ה"נ דכל המתחייב באחת מתחיי' בכולן ושאין מתחיי' באחת אין מתחייב בכולן אלמה תנן ר"ע אומר נשיא חייב חוץ משמיעת קול

Tosefta Horayot

[The court] is not liable [to bring a bull as an unwitting sin-offering for issuing a ruling regarding] a positive commandment or a negative commandment that [is related to the defiling of] the Temple, and one does not bring a provisional guilt-offering for a positive commandment or for a negative commandment [related to the defiling of] the Temple (Hor. 2:4). But [the court] is liable to bring a provisional guilt offering for a positive commandment or for a negative commandment regarding a niddah, said Rabbi Shimon. Why does liability that incurs [for a ruling regarding] a positive commandment involving a niddah? Because there is within it a negative commandment. Moreover, Rabbi Yehuda would say over a general rule regarding them: When an individual must bring a provisional guilt offering, the nasi (leader or prince) must do so as well, and the anointed [priest] and the court are exempt (Hor. 9a:10). [But when it comes to] a definite guilt offering, the nasi and the anointed [priest] are liable, and the court is exempt (ibid.).

Tosefta Horayot

For hearing a voice, and for an utterance of the lips, and for defiling the Temple or its consecrated [foods], the court is exempt, and the individual, the nasi, and the anointed [priest] are liable (Hor. 2:7, Hor. 9a:11). But the nasi is not liable for hearing a voice, and not for defiling the Temple or its consecrated [foods]. When it [requires] a variable rate sacrifice, the nasi, and similarly the anointed [priest] and the court are exempt. When it [requires] a fixed rate sacrifice, the individual and the nasi and the anointed [priest] bring a female lamb, and the court [brings] a bull and a female lamb as a burnt offering, and a male lamb as a sin offering (Hor. 2:6).
