חושן משפט קצ״אChoshen Mishpat 191

Siman 191 of 427 in Choshen Mishpat — 4 se'ifim

Choshen Mishpat is set from the Lemberg 1898 edition, which is unpointed, so the vowels switch has nothing to remove here.

Se’if 1א׳

דין קניית קרקע בשטר. ובו ד סעיפים: בשטר כיצד כתב לו על הנייר או על החרס או על העלה שדי נתונה לך שדי מכורה לך כיון שהגיע השטר לידו קנה אע"פ שאין שם עדים כלל:

The law of the acquisition of land by a document; it contains four se'ifim. By a document — how? He wrote for him on paper, or on a potsherd, or on a leaf: my field is given to you, my field is sold to you; once the document has reached his hand he has acquired, even though there are no witnesses there at all.

Se’if 2ב׳

בד"א במוכר שדהו מפני רעתה אבל בשאר קרקעות אע"פ שהגיע שטר המכר בעדים לידו לא קנה עד שיתן דמים:

When is this said? With one who sells his field because of its poor quality; but with other lands, even though the document of sale, with witnesses, has reached his hand, he has not acquired until he gives the price.

Se’if 3ג׳

שטרי דידן שטרי קנין הם: הגה והקרקע נקנה על ידו ואם כתב לו בפירוש שלא מכר לו בשטר ואינו אלא לראייה בעלמא אין הקרקע נקנית על ידו (הר"ן פ"ק דקדושין והמגיד פ"א דקדושין ופ"א דמכירה):

Our documents are documents of acquisition. Hagah [Rema]: And the land is acquired through it; but if he wrote for him expressly that he was not selling to him by the document, and that it is only as mere evidence, the land is not acquired through it (the Ran, chapter 1 of Kiddushin, and the Maggid, chapter 1 of Kiddushin and chapter 1 of the Laws of Sale).

Se’if 4ד׳

קנה קרקע בדמים ידועים והמוכר אומר לא קבלתי המעות והלוקח אומר כבר נתתי אם הוא מקום שנותנים מעות ואח"כ כותבים וכתב בשטר שהודה שקבל הלוקח נאמן: הגה מכר לו קרקע בשטר או במעות (וא"ל קני) לאחר שלשים יום ונקרע השטר תוך הזמן או נאבדו המעות אם אמר לו קני לך מעכשיו ולאחר ל' יום קנה לא אמר מעכשיו לא קנה וה"ה לקנין חזקה (ב"י בשם תוס' פרק האשה רבה ונ"י פ"ק דמציעא):

If he bought land at a known price, and the seller says: I did not receive the money, and the buyer says: I have already given it — if it is a place where they give the money and afterwards write, and he wrote in the document that the seller admitted that he had received it, the buyer is believed. Hagah [Rema]: If he sold him land by a document or by money (and said to him: acquire) after thirty days, and the document was torn within the period, or the money was lost — if he said to him: acquire from now and after thirty days, he has acquired; if he did not say "from now", he has not acquired. And the same law applies to acquisition by taking possession (Beit Yosef in the name of the Tosafot, chapter "The woman, the greater", and Nimukei Yosef, chapter 1 of Bava Metzia).
