PEH378
Title
PEH378
Hirsch Summary
A gave B animals and equipment for storage free of charge. 5 years later, when some of them were stolen, B refused to fulfill the prescribed "oath of the custodian." Instead, he paid the value, explicitly waiving his right to claim double, quadruple, or quintuple damages if the convicted thief had to pay. However, when the thief was actually found, B revoked his waiver. Moses Alvarez declared the revocation ineffective.
