How do we make a shituf for an alley? One places a barrel and declares, ‘‘Let this belong to all the residents of the alley.’’ He may confer possession to them through his adult son or daughter, through his Jewish manservant or maidservant, or through his wife. But he may not confer possession through his minor son or daughter, nor through his Canaanite slave or slavewoman, because their hand is like his hand.

If the food became diminished, one may add and confer possession, but he does not have to notify [them]. If more [residents] were added, he may add and confer possession, or he must notify [them].
