Responsa for Bava Kamma 102:11
בור שבעה ומהן שלשה טפחים מים מהו מי אמרינן כיון דנפישי מים טפי אית ביה הבלא או דלמא כיון דלא עמקא לית ביה הבלא תיקו:
Raba said: The case of a man putting a stone round the mouth of a pit and thereby completing it to a depth of ten handbreadths is one which brings us face to face with the difference of opinion between Rabbi and the Rabbis.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' As to whether the second person or both of them would be liable in cases of injury.

Teshuvot Maharam
Q. A made an offer to buy manufactured articles from B at a certain price. B agreed to sell these at that price and delivered to A the key of the box in which the articles were placed. A now wants to withdraw his offer; may he still do so?
A. Accepting a key is not a formal act of possession, and A may, therefore, withdraw his offer. But, if after accepting the key of the box, A put the articles in the box and locked it, the sale is valid.
SOURCES: Pr. 835.
