Shall he swear? Since he said, 'Yes, I snatched it, but it is mine that [snatched', he is like a robber.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' A man cannot free himself by saying, 'it is mine that I snatched', for if this excuse were accepted, no robber would ever be liable, even when there were two witnesses that he robbed, for he could always say, 'I admit I took it, but it is my own property'; v. Tosaf. a.l. And since he is like a robber, he cannot take an oath.');"><sup>9</sup></span>
