○Regarding the transfer of stables, feed storage, and external horse tethering within long houses during residence changes for household retainers: This had been handled according to established law, but since Kansei 5, year of the ox (1793), 4th month, when cutting back long houses became permissible, there have been various difficulties during transfers. Estate magistrate Kobayashi Kinbei submitted a proposal regarding this matter, and when this was consulted with duty officer Koma Taitō, he instructed that hereafter it should be handled according to the attached document, so Kinbei was instructed to take note of this.
Attached document
1. Regarding stables, feed storage, and external tethering: If the parent of the person ordered to change residence owns horses, both should be received and transferred
However, there is no distinction even if long houses are cut back upon request
1. In the same situation, if the grandfather or above owned horses, there is no need to receive and transfer both, and no need to be attached to them

1. Tenmei 8, year of the monkey (1788), 1st month, 25th day: When Ashida Shimotsuke requested to partially demolish some of the 57+ ken on the east side of his long house, he was told by the senior councilors that since it was on the front side, it should be left in its current form and repaired
1. Bunka 5, year of the dragon (1808), 4th month, 3rd day: Saiki Yōsuke reported that he lived in a townhouse but had no gate at the front, so he wished to build a gate for security purposes
1. Ogawa Sukeuemon, a cook of ittō rank, had built his own residence on the tea garden land in Abura-machi and requested through written application to the magistrate to build a gate for security. However, since there was no precedent for ittō rank persons building gates and this was a new matter, the magistrate inquired. After deliberation, it was decided that hereafter for ashigaru building gates, it would be concluded by reporting to the ashigaru commander. Since ashigaru residences also have wooden gates, there was no reason why ittō rank persons could not build gates even if it was new. Therefore, it was decided that hereafter, for those who have audience with the lord, building gate-like structures would be acceptable. This was discussed with the senior councilors, and it was replied to the magistrate that Sukeuemon's request should be granted as wished
1. In the same year, when ashigaru Oka Kinsuke was granted a new house and residence site, a gate was also provided from above
However, those below kossan rank cannot build new gates. Of course, purchasing and residing in existing houses with gates requires no particular concern

Oral memorandum
Since my neighbor Matsudaira Gentarō is of the same surname lineage, there has been an alley at the residence boundary that we have used as a passage from long ago, but it was blocked according to recent edicts. However, given the current times with few people, it would be good for emergencies, so I wish to open the alley entrance as before. Please handle this matter favorably. Above
7th month To Murata Jūtayū-sama Matsudaira Shuma
