Tosefta for Bekhorot 59:27
כגון דהוה חשיד לתרוייהו ואתא קמי רבנן וקביל אתרוייהו והדר איחשד אחד מינייהו
This allows the inference that one who is suspected of ignoring [the rules of levitical purity] is suspected [of ignoring the laws just cited]! - Said R'Elai: The Mishnah refers to a case where we saw him practise privately at home.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The regulation pertaining to tithes and the sabbatical year and therefore the Mishnah states that he is not suspected of disregarding them in public, albeit he ignores the rules of levitical purity.');"><sup>10</sup></span>
Tosefta Demai
One who sends fruits to his friend, and he [presumably the friend] decides to return it, he comports himself [vis-a-vis the returned fruit] according to how it was (i.e., its prior status). Abba Shaul says, "I would be concerned lest it be switched." Rabbi Shimon ben Gamaliel says, "If he has a sharecropper who knows how to tithe, but he (i.e., the landowner) does not trust him as to tithes, and he (i.e., the sharecropper) brought his fruits to him, and he said, yours (i.e., your share) are tithed, he is believed [in this instance]." Rebbi says, "He is not trustworthy [according to the principle] that one who is suspected regarding [one] matter may neither adjudicate nor testify" (Bekh. 30a:3).
