The Machlokes (disagreement) between the Vilna Gaon and Rav Meir in Baba Kama concerns whether a watchman who steals corn from the field he is watching must pay back the value of the corn or the value of the flour that can be made from the corn. The Vilna Gaon holds that he must pay back the value of the corn, while Rav Meir holds that he must pay back the value of the flour.
