Commentary for Bava Metzia 189:21

Therefore, liability [for negligence] in the case of the paid bailee and borrower too follows a <i>minori</i> from a gratuitous bailee. But that there should be no liability for it, when the owner is in their service, that cannot be maintained even in respect of a paid bailee and a borrower.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Notwithstanding that in cases of mishaps this fact does free them from liability.
