Responsa for Bava Metzia 73:9

ורמינהי שנים שהפקידו אצל אחד זה מנה וזה מאתים זה אומר שלי מאתים וזה אומר שלי מאתים נותן לזה מנה ולזה מנה והשאר יהא מונח עד שיבא אליהו

GEMARA. This proves that money is collected as a result of doubt, and we do not say, Let the money stand in the presumptive ownership of its possessor. But this is contradicted by the following: IF TWO MADE A DEPOSIT WITH ONE PERSON, ONE A MANEH AND THE OTHER TWO HUNDRED [ZUZ], THIS ONE SAID, THE TWO HUNDRED IS MINE, AND THE OTHER SAID LIKEWISE, THE TWO HUNDRED IS MINE: HE MUST GIVE A MANEH TO EACH, WHILST THE REST LIES UNTIL ELIJAH COMES! — Said he to him:7

Teshuvot Maharam

Q. A says that B's mother before her death instructed B to give A one Mina out of her possessions, since she had owed money to A's mother and did not remember whether or not she had repaid the entire sum. B denies having received such instructions from his mother, and further claims that A's mother owed him more than one Mina. But A has witnesses who testify that after his mother's death B admitted having received these instructions.
A. Since B's mother did not take the required oath regarding her ketubah, she had no property of her own; even the clothes she wore on week-days belonged to the estate. Consequently B is unable to carry out his mother's instructions. B is under no moral obligation to repay his mother's debt since the mother herself had not been pressed for payment.

Q. A says he is entitled to receive more than half of the interest due him and B from a Gentile, but B says he himself is entitled to an equal share with A.
A. Each one is entitled to receive the amount the other admits is coming to him; as to the remainder, it belongs to the one who will seize it first.
