Tosefta for Bekhorot 59:35

תיתי לי דלא אכלי פירות שביעית כוותך

Some there are who say: Rabbah B'Bar Hana reported in the name of R'Johanan: Those are the words of R'Akiba whose opinion has been adopted without naming him; but the Sages say: One who is suspected of ignoring tithes is suspected of ignoring the law of the sabbatical year.

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).
