Illustration

A instigates B to commit qatl against C. The offence is not committed. If B had committed qatl against C, A would have been subject to the punishment of abetment of qatl.

Therefore A is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $28,000

and imprisonment for a term not exceeding 7 years.
