金五十五両を返金し、その上で年賦済みを頼んだと申しました。久蔵の返答では、亥年に元金の中から五十五両を返金したならば、子年・丑年・寅年の三年間、利息金二十両ずつを支払うという約束もなく、年賦済みに
【左丁】
なったならば、右の証拠となる書類等があるかと詰め寄って掛け合いましたところ、親の久蔵の自筆で五十五両の受取書を所持していると申しましたので、一覧したいと申し談じましたところ、受取書の写しを見せられましたが、怪しく思われましたので、久蔵の手元帳面等を取り調べましたところ、元金の中等から受け取った件については全くなく、右の五十五両の件は別の話で、戌年七月に元金五十両を貸し渡し、亥年四月まで十か月、この利息五両を差し加え、外に金三両（これは別口で支払うべき分）、合計金五十八両を亥年四月七日に受け取り、久蔵が留守のため久八から預かり切手を

He returned fifty-five ryō in gold, and furthermore requested annual installment settlement. Kyūzō's response was that if fifty-five ryō had been returned from the principal in the year of the Boar, there would have been no agreement to pay twenty ryō each year in interest money for the three years of the Rat, Ox, and Tiger, and it would have become an annual installment settlement.

If that were the case, when pressed about whether there were any documents that could serve as proof of this, he stated that he possessed a receipt for fifty-five ryō written in the hand of his late father Kyūzō. When we requested to examine it and discussed the matter, we were shown a copy of the receipt, but finding it suspicious, we investigated Kyūzō's personal account books and found that there was absolutely no record of receiving anything from the principal amount. The matter of the fifty-five ryō was a separate issue: fifty ryō in principal was lent in the seventh month of the year of the Dog, and for the ten months until the fourth month of the year of the Boar, five ryō in interest was added, plus an additional three ryō (this being an amount to be paid separately), making a total of fifty-eight ryō received on the seventh day of the fourth month of the year of the Boar. Since Kyūzō was absent, a promissory note was received from Kyūhachi.
