Reference for Shekalim 7:5

בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה הָיוּ מְמַשְׁכְּנִין אֶת מוֹצְאֶיהָ, עַד שֶׁהוּא מֵבִיא נְסָכֶיהָ. חָזְרוּ לִהְיוֹת מַנִּיחִין אוֹתָהּ וּבוֹרְחִין. הִתְקִינוּ בֵּית דִּין שֶׁיְּהוּ נְסָכֶיהָ בָּאִין מִשֶּׁל צִבּוּר:

In the beginning, they would take pledges from its finder until he brought its libations. [They would take a pledge from one who found a burnt-offering or a peace-offering until he brought its libations at his own expense — three esronim for a bullock, two esronim for a ram, one issaron for a lamb] — whereupon he would leave it and run, [so as not to be liable for its libations] — whereupon beth-din instituted that its libations come from the congregation.
