וראובןושמעון שהיה להם חוב בשותפות ואחר זמן נתן שמעון חלק חובו לראובן ונסתלק אינו יכול להקנות חובו לחבירו שהבריא שאמ' הלואתו לפלוני אין הלואתו לפלוני אפילו בקניין אגב קרקע אלא במעמד שלשתן והא לא שייך בגוי כדפ"רת ואין להאריך. וא"כ לשמעון כל חצי הריוח.

Rabbi Meir of Rothenburg, his life and his works, by Irving A. Agus. Philadelphia, 1947

Q. A and B lent money on interest in partnership. Subsequently, A withdrew from the partnership and gave his part of the loan to B. Is this transaction valid? A. A healthy person can assign his loans to another only in the presence of all three interested parties, viz: the assignor, the assignee, and the debtor. This mode of assignment is valid only if the interested parties are Jews. Since in this case the debtor was a Gentile, the assignment of the loan was not valid and the accrued interest belongs to A. SOURCES: Cr. 61; Pr. 150; L. 376.
