Commentary for Shabbat 155:8

אמר מר מודים חכמים לר"ש במוציא שופכין לרה"ר ששיעורן ברביעית: שופכין למאי חזו אמר רבי ירמיה לגבל בהן את הטיט והתניא טיט כדי לעשות בהן פי כור לא קשיא הא דמיגבל הא דלא מיגבל לפי שאין אדם טורח לגבל טיט לעשות פי כור:

Said Abaye: The reference here is to an apprentice to whom his master said, 'Go, and clear me a place for a meal.' Now, if he goes and clears out [into the street] something that is valued by all, he is guilty on its account; something that is not valued by all: if his master had put it away,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For use, thus showing that he did value it. ');">¹⁴</span> he is guilty on its account; if not, he is not guilty.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This is consistent with R. Simeon's view (supra 76a) that one is guilty through another's intention. ');">¹⁵</span>
