Mishnah for Makkot 1:1

משנה כיצד העדים נעשים זוממין מעידים אנו באיש פלוני שהוא בן גרושה או בן חלוצה אין אומרין ייעשה זה בן גרושה או בן חלוצה תחתיו אלא לוקה ארבעים מעידים אנו באיש פלוני שהוא חייב גלות אין אומרים יגלה זה תחתיו אלא לוקה ארבעים מעידין אנו באיש פלוני שגירש את אשתו ולא נתן לה כתובתה והלא בין היום בין למחר סופו ליתן לה כתובתה אלא אומדים כמה אדם רוצה ליתן בכתובתה של זו שאם נתאלמנה או נתגרשה ואם מתה יירשנה בעלה:

From when may one recite Shema in the evening? From the time the Kohanim go in to eat their Terumah (produce consecrated for priestly consumption). Until the end of the first watch, says Rabbi Eliezer. And the Sages say: Until [astronomical] midnight. Rabban Gamliel says: Until the break of dawn. It once happened that his [Rabban Gamliel’s] sons came from a house of feasting. They said to him: We have not recited Shema. He to them: If dawn has not broken, you are obligated to recite it. And it is not only in this case that they said it! Rather, in all cases where the Sages said "only until midnight," the obligation remains until the break of dawn. [e.g.] Burning the fats and limbs [of the sacrifices, on the Temple altar] — the obligation is until the break of dawn. [e.g.:] All [sacrifices] which may be eaten for one day — the obligation is until the break of dawn. If that is so, why did the Sages say, "until midnight?" To distance a person from transgression.

Mishnah Sheviit

One who slaughters a cow and divides it up on Rosh Hashanah [at the end of the seventh year]: If the month had been intercalated, [the debt] is remitted. But if it had not been intercalated, it is not remitted. [Fines for] rape, for seduction, for defamation, and all other obligations arising from legal procedure, are not remitted. One who loans and takes a pledge, and one who hands over his debt documents to a court, [these debts] are not remitted.
