Siman 367 of 427 in Choshen Mishpat — 6 se'ifim

הלכות גזילהRobbery· siman 367

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

Se’if 1א׳

גזלן שבא להחזיר את הגזילה והגוזל את אביו. ובו ו סעיפים: הגוזל את חבירו אע"פ שכפר בו הואיל ולא נשבע אם חזר והודה אינו חייב לרדוף אחר הבעלים להחזיר להם אלא יהא בידו עד שיבואו (ויודיע אותם) (טור ס"א) ויטלו את שלהם אבל אם נשבע על שוה פרוטה ומעלה חייב לרדוף אחר הבעלים עד שיחזיר להם אפי' הם באיי הים מפני שכבר נתיאשו מאחר שנשבע ואינם באים עוד לתובעו:

A robber who comes to return the robbed thing; and one who robs his father; it contains six se'ifim. One who robs his fellow — even though he denied it to him, since he did not swear, if he then went back and admitted, he need not pursue the owner to return it to him; rather, it shall remain in his hand until the owner comes (and he shall inform him) (Tur, se'if 1) and takes what is his. But if he swore over a perutah's worth or more, he is obliged to pursue the owner until he returns it to him, even if he is in the islands of the sea, because the owner has already despaired, since the robber swore, and will not come again to claim from him.

Se’if 2ב׳

אפי' החזיר הגזילה כולה חוץ משוה פרוטה חייב הגזלן להוליכה אחר הנגזל ולא יתן לא לבנו של נגזל ולא לשלוחו אא"כ עשה הנגזל השליח בעדים וכן אם עשו ב"ד שליח בעדים ונתן לו יצא ואצ"ל אם נתן לב"ד שיצא:

Even if he returned all of the robbed thing except a perutah's worth, the robber is obliged to carry it after the one robbed; and he shall not give it to the son of the one robbed, nor to his agent, unless the one robbed appointed the agent before witnesses. And likewise, if the court appointed an agent before witnesses and he gave it to him, he has discharged his obligation; and needless to say, if he gave it to the court, he has discharged it.

Se’if 3ג׳

החזיר לו כל הגזיל' או שמחל לו עליה חוץ מפחות שוה פרוטה אינו צריך להוליך אחריו אלא יבא הנגזל ויטול השאר ואע"פ שהגזילה עצמה קיימת אין חוששין שמא תתייקר ונמצא הנשאר שוה פרוטה:

If he returned to him all of the robbed thing, or the other forgave him for it, except for less than a perutah's worth, he need not carry it after him; rather, the one robbed shall come and take the rest. And even though the robbed thing itself is in existence, we are not concerned lest it rise in price and it turn out that what remains is worth a perutah.
