Jerusalem Talmud Bava Metzia 8.2

משנה: הַשּׁוֹאֵל אֶת הַפָּרָה שְׁאָלָהּ חֲצִי יוֹם וּשְׂכָרָהּ חֲצִי יוֹם שְׁאָלָהּ הַיּוֹם וּשְׂכָרָהּ לְמָחָר שָׂכַר אַחַת וְשָׁאַל אַחַת הַמַּשְׁאִיל אוֹמֵר שְׁאוּלָה מֵתָה בְּיוֹם שֶׁהָיְתָה שְׁאוּלָה מֵתָה בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁהָיְתָה שְׁאוּלָה מֵתָה וְהַלָּה אוֹמֵר אֵינִי יוֹדֵעַ חַיָיב. הַשּׂוֹכֵר אוֹמֵר שְׂכוּרָה מֵתָה בְּיוֹם שֶׁהָיְתָה שְׂכוּרָה מֵתָה בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁהָיְתָה שְׂכוּרָה מֵתָה וְהַלָּה אוֹמֵר אֵינִי יוֹדֵעַ פָּטוּר. זֶה אוֹמֵר שְׁאוּלָה וְזֶה אוֹמֵר שְׂכוּרָה יִשָּׁבַע הַשּׂוֹכֵר שֶׁהַשְּׂכוּרָה מֵתָה. זֶה אוֹמֵר אֵינִי יוֹדֵעַ וְזֶה אוֹמֵר אֵינִי יוֹדֵעַ יַחֲלוֹקוּ.

MISHNAH: Somebody borrowed a cow; he borrowed it for half a day and leased it for half a day, or borrowed it for one day and leased it for the next, or borrowed for one and leased for one. The lessee says, the borrowed one died, or it died on the day it was borrowed, or it died during the time it was borrowed, and the other one says “I do not know”, he is liable. The lessor says, the leased one died, or it died on the day it was leased, or it died during the time it was leased, and the other one says “I do not know”, he is not liable. One says the borrowed and the other one says the leased; let the lessee swear that the leased one died. If both say “I do not know” they shall split.

הלכה: הַשּׁוֹאֵל אֶת הַפָּרָה כול׳. לָיְלָה שֶׁבֵּנְתַיִים מָהוּ. אִיתָ מְרִין. דֶּרֶךְ הַפָּרוֹת לָלוּן עַל בְּעָלֵיהֶן וְזוֹ עַל יְדֵי שֶׁשּׂוֹכְרָהּ אֶצְלוֹ לא לָנָה כִּשְׁאוּלָה הִיא אֶצְלָהּ וְהוּא חַיָיב. וְאִיתָ מְרִין. אֵין דֶּרֶךְ הַפָּרוֹת לָלוּן עַל בְּעָלֵיהֶן וְזוֹ כִּשְׂכוּרָה אֶצְלוֹ וּפָטוּר.

HALAKHAH: “Somebody borrowed a cow,” etc. What is the status of the night in between? Some say, usually cows rest at their owners’, and this one, because it is leased to him, stays overnight and is as if loaned to him; he is liable. But some say, usually cows do not rest at their owners’, and this one is as if being leased to him; he is not liable.
