Commentary for Bava Metzia 67:6
שילם ולא רצה לישבע [וכו']: א"ר חייא בר אבא א"ר יוחנן לא שילם שילם ממש אלא כיון שאמר הריני משלם אע"פ שלא שילם
or if it was standing in the meadow.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' just before the theft. Since this does not belong to the bailee, he cannot acquire it just then (for in order to acquire it, either he must perform meshikah (v. Glos.) or it must be standing within his domain); consequently the additional repayment made by the thief over and above the principal will belong to the bailor. ');"><sup>5</sup></span>
Maharam Schiff on Bava Metzia
3. A Borrower that said I will pay etc. By the other's (the paid and unpaid watchman) its not enough for him (Rav papa) to say the language that (the watchmen said) behold I will be paying, for he wants to teach us the (Halchik) rule (that the caretaker buys the right to the double etc) even if he (the watchman) said I was negligent.
