○去々戌年に繭商売の者どもへ株札を相渡し、繭仲買、糸引屋、糸商等に定めの通り申し渡したところ、近頃甚だしく猥りがましく相成り、仲買問屋等も構わず無札の者も立ち入って売買を致している趣が相聞こえ、不届き至極である。これにより御城下並びに在々とも組の者を指し出し、株札の有無を相糺し、猥りがましき儀のないよう取り斗うべきである。

○明里御蔵米のうち三国御蔵へ積み下す米は前々から上乗宰領が在ったところ、中古は宰領を相止められ、その後近年また御先筒組上乗宰領を仰せ付けられた。しかるところ御蔵米の件は次第に厳重に締り方を仰せ付けられることにより、自ずから内々にも格別よろしいところ、下米の節に川船船頭どもの内に不正の取り斗いもあるのか、三国御蔵入の節に目減り等があり過分な込米等がある旨相聞こえる。右のような儀があっては、第一上乗宰領の者等閑の勤め方はもちろん、船頭どもは申すに及ばず不届き至極の事につき、急度御咎めも仰せ付けられるかと思われるが、これまでの儀は御用捨に成し下されることにより、以来卒爾の儀のないよう急度相慎み大切に取り斗うべきである。また、これまでも俵毎に掛廻目切手に引き合わせ請け取り申す節、目がよろしくなければ込米を申し付けて損立はないのが道理であるが、全体上の米を積み受け目が不足あるとて込米を致すことは不束の事である。以来右のような儀があれば、川船取り揚げ已後川船商売を指し留める事とする。
一、以来斤量掛目目切米等これまでの通りにて、水目廻の節一艘ずつ上乗宰領並びに船頭とも立ち合い、升目等篤と相改め積み受けて出船すべきである。三国御蔵においても水上の節、水目廻方宰領並びに船頭とも立ち合い相改めて相納すべき事。
一、杵取荒子の件は切る者切らない者もあることであるが、掛方が手間取っても第一正路の取り斗いでなければ締り方に相成らないので、厳しく申し聞かせ、毛頭後鳴きの取扱いのないよう、立合組の者は精誠を致して吟味すべき事。

○Regarding the stock certificates issued to cocoon merchants the year before last (year of the dog), and the regulations communicated to cocoon brokers, silk-drawing houses, silk merchants, etc.: Recently things have become extremely disorderly, with brokers and wholesale houses not caring and even unlicensed persons entering into buying and selling, which is heard to be extremely improper. Therefore, both in the castle town and in rural areas, group members shall be designated to investigate the presence or absence of stock certificates and ensure that no disorderly conduct occurs.

○Regarding the rice from Akesato granary transported down to Mikuni granary: Previously there were ship supervisors, but in medieval times the supervisors were discontinued, and in recent years ship supervisors from the arquebus unit were again appointed. However, as granary rice control has been ordered to be increasingly strict, this has generally been quite beneficial internally. But during rice transport, there may be improper handling among the river vessel captains, as reports indicate weight loss during storage at Mikuni granary and excessive compensation rice. If such matters occur, first the ship supervisors' negligent service, and of course the captains' conduct, would be extremely improper, and severe punishment might be ordered. However, past matters have been pardoned, so henceforth such careless matters must be strictly avoided and handled with great care. Also, until now when receiving cargo by comparing each bale with weight certificates, if the weight was inadequate, compensation rice was ordered so there would be no loss, which is reasonable. However, accepting loaded rice and then adding compensation rice due to insufficient weight is improper conduct. Henceforth, if such matters occur, river vessel trading shall be suspended after unloading the vessels.
1. Henceforth, regarding weighing and rice grading as before: during water-level inspections, ship supervisors and captains shall be present for each vessel, carefully inspecting measurements before loading and departure. At Mikuni granary as well, during high water periods, water-level inspection supervisors and captains shall be present to inspect before delivery.
1. Regarding rice pounders and stevedores: there may be both those who hull and those who don't, but even if the hanging work takes time, if the handling is not proper first and foremost, it will not result in proper control. Therefore, strict instructions shall be given, and to ensure no complaints afterward, the supervising group members shall conduct inspections with sincerity.
