Responsa for Bava Kamma 231:7
שטף נהר חמורו וחמור חבירו שלו יפה מנה וכו': וצריכא דאי אשמעינן קמייתא התם הוא דכי פירש יהיב ליה דמי כוליה משום דבידים קא פסיד אבל הכא דממילא נימא אין לו אלא שכרו
Surely it was taught: If a man running away from prison came to a ferry and said to the boatman, 'Take a <i>denar</i> to ferry me across,' he would still have to pay him not more than the value of his services.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Yeb. 106a. ');"><sup>7</sup></span>
Teshuvot Maharam
You have rendered unfit for eating purposes meat that was not rinsed before it was salted and cooked. Your decision in this case, however, is not correct since the talmudic law requiring that meat be rinsed before salting is a requirement previous to the act (לכתחלה) which law does not render unfit for eating purposes meat that was already salted without a previous rinsing (בדיעבד).
