What is liability of person who abets one offence and another offence is committed?

Section 111 of the Code provides that when an act is abetted and a different act is done or an additional act is done which is the probable consequence of the abetment, the abettor will be liable in the same manner and to the same extent as if he had directly abetted it.    

Example: A instigates B to resist by force a distress made by public servant and B in consequence thereof causes grievous hurt to executing officer. A will be liable for both the offences committed by B.
