If a man deposits a barrel with his neighbour, its owner not designating a place for it, and he [the Bailee] moves it and it is broken, if it is broken whilst in his hand, [if he moved it] for his purposes, he is responsible; for its own need, he is not responsible. If it is broken after he puts it down, whether [He moved it] for his need or for its own, he is not liable. If the owner designates a place for it, and he moves it and it is broken, whether whilst in his hand or after he puts it down, [if he moved it] for his purposes, he is responsible; if for its own need, he is not liable.  מציעא 3.9
המפקיד חבית אצל חברו, ולא ייחדו לה הבעלים מקום, וטילטלה ונשברה-- אם מתוך ידו נשברה-- לצורכו, חייב; לצורכה, פטור׃ ואם משהניחה-- בין לצורכו בין לצורכה, פטור׃ ייחדו לה הבעלים מקום, וטילטלה ונשברה-- בין מתוך ידו ובין משהניחה-- לצורכו, חייב; לצורכה, פטור
If a man deposited money with his neighbour, who bound it up and slung it over his shoulder [or] entrusted it to his minor son or daughter and locked [the door] before them, but not properly, he is liable, because he did not guard [it] in the manner of bailees. But if he guarded it in the manner of bailees, he is exempt.  מציעא 3.10
המפקיד מעות אצל חברו-- צררן והפשילן לאחריו, מסרן לבנו ולבתו הקטנים, ונעל בפניהם שלא כראוי-- חייב, שלא שמר כדרך השומרים; ואם שמר כדרך השומרים, פטור
