現代語訳
村々に仰せ渡され、村々順番にて一日一夜交代で番に出た。その外、岩村田ヶ口の牢にも充満していた。これもその後吟味の上、指し人などにて召し捕られ、咎なき者は許された。小諸江預けとなる者、召し捕り人二十七人、十月十七日右同心衆へ引き渡し、十九日追分へ出立した。坂本まで諸方にて搦め取られ、十月二十一日松井田を三十七人引き連れ高崎へ御預けとなった。信州は竹不自由の故、松井田・安中へ申し付けられ、丸籠夥しく出来た。江戸表にて御吟味があり、国々の騒動は終息した。
田畑凶作の事
さて上州高崎より軽井沢までは浅間の焼け砂が降って、作物は一切皆無である。佐久郡の内、八月より天気快晴でなかったため、馬流より両相木・川上筋の作物は一切実らず、高野町より下は十分の出来にて、五分の所が極めて良い分である。中でも三分又は皆無の所のみ多かった。上田・松代・善光寺・須坂・松本・越後までも不作の場所のみである。これにより村々一統倹約の儀申し渡し、酒売場一切禁止にし、その外煙草なども禁じた所もある。年暮に餅をつかず、年始の礼まで相

Additionally, the prison at Iwamurada-guchi was also filled to capacity. After subsequent investigations, those who had been captured due to informants and others who were found to be without fault were pardoned. Those to be entrusted to Komoro numbered twenty-seven captured persons, who were handed over to the same magistrate's men on the 17th day of the 10th month, and departed for Oiwake on the 19th. Those captured in various places up to Sakamoto totaled thirty-seven people who were taken from Matsuidа to be entrusted to Takasaki on the 21st day of the 10th month. Since bamboo was scarce in Shinshū, orders were given to Matsuida and Annaka, and numerous round bamboo cages were made. There was an official investigation in Edo, and the disturbances in various provinces came to an end.
Crop Failures in Fields and Rice Paddies
Now, from Takasaki in Jōshū to Karuizawa, volcanic ash from Mount Asama fell, and crops were completely destroyed. Within Saku district, because the weather had not been clear since the 8th month, crops from Umaryu to Ryōaigi and the Kawakami area completely failed to bear fruit. Below Takano town, even a ten-percent yield was considered extremely good, with five-percent yields being the norm. Among these, there were mostly areas with only three-percent yields or complete crop failure. From Ueda, Matsushiro, Zenkōji, Suzaka, Matsumoto, to Echigo, there were only areas of poor harvests. Due to this, orders for universal frugality were issued to all villages, sake shops were completely prohibited, and some places also banned tobacco and other items. Rice cakes were not made at year's end, and even New Year's greetings were...
