Question 2212) - Both witnesses testified to 1000, but one added, "He did however pay 500 of that." What is the ruling?

A: Both testimonies will be taken as 1000. The payment of 500 will be ignored unless the other also testifies to it. It is appropriate that if the witness does know that, that he does not testify to the 1000 until the mudda'i admits to receiving the 500.
