Responsa for Chullin 266:6
בשרא קא זבין

This, however, is not the case with a priest who is a partner in the business.');"><sup>4</sup></span>
Shut min haShamayim
Regarding the third matter, they responded: "It is not common to trust a non-Jew." (Chullin 133b:4), and we should not rely on their testimony, and it has been said (Bava Batra 91b:6): "One who relies on them falls into their hands."
