**וששאלתם**על אפוטרופוס שמינהו אבי יתומים וכו' ר"ח ורבינו האלפס ע"ה בפרק הניזקין פסקו כאבא שאול. וכן הוא דמינהו אבי יתומים לא ישבע כיון דמסלקינן ליה משביעין ליה נמי.

**Rabbi Meir of Rothenburg, his life and his works, by Irving A. Agus. Philadelphia, 1947:**
*Q*. Is a trustee of orphans, appointed to his trusteeship by their father, required to take an oath [to the effect that he did not retain anything belonging to the orphans and that he did not willfully damage their interests]?
*A*. A trustee appointed by the father of the orphans is not required to take an oath. However, some authorities (*Ittur*) believe that when such a trustee has been removed by court, because of witnesses testifying to his mismanagement of the affairs of the orphans, he is required to take an oath.
