Commentary for Bava Kamma 60:11
ת"ש מדקאיירינן גלל
'If a man removes straw and stubble into the public ground to be formed into manure and damage results to another person, he is liable for the damage, and whoever seizes them first acquires title to them, as this may be done irrespective of [the law of] robbery. [However] where he turns up dung on public ground and damage [subsequently] results to another person, he is liable [to compensate] but no possession may be taken of the dung on account of [the law of] robbery'?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which shows that the penalty does not extend to the corpus.
