asked: “If someone planted wheat seeds in the ground and sold them
before they took root, are they subject to price fraud?” Are they
viewed as if thrown into a container, thus subject to price fraud, or
are they treated as land, not subject to price fraud? This remains
unresolved.
How do we know that an unpaid custodian doesn't swear about
these things? “
If a man gives his fellow...” is a generalization, “...
money or utensils...” is a specification, “...
to watch...”
is another generalization – and the overall law can include only things
that are similar to the specification, like movables with intrinsic
value, but not land or documents.
