Commentary for Nedarim 67:1
תנן מקום שנוטלין עליה שכר תפול הנאה להקדש בשלמא למאן דאמר אפילו בשנכסי בעל אבידה אסורים על מחזיר נמי מהדר היינו דקתני מקום שנוטלין עליה שכר תיפול הנאה להקדש
We learnt: WHERE PAYMENT IS TAKEN FOR THIS, THE BENEFIT MUST ACCRUE TO HEKDESH. Now, that is well on the view that even if the finder must not benefit from the loser's property, he may also return it: hence it is taught: WHERE PAYMENT IS MADE FOR THIS, THE BENEFIT MUST ACCRUE TO HEKDESH.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For since the finder cannot benefit from the loser, he cannot receive his fee from him; on the other hand, the loser is liable for it; therefore it goes to hekdesh; v. p. 104, n 2, for the reverse case.
