現代語訳

一、去る子年正月中、火の元の守り方の件について市中の町々へ厳重なお達しがあり、永代橋外二橋の助成地内の件についても、毎年十月から三月まで橋番人並びに同所へ出る商人たちが申し合わせて、両人ずつ橋番所へ詰めて夜番を務めておりますが、厳重なお達しの後は小半時（一時間）ごとに見回りをすることになり、半夜（夜半）での交代では行き届かないため、その間に病気や都合などで自然に人数が少なくなった時などは夜番も引き続き勤めることになります。つきましては夜番中の増額手当てを下し置かれるよう別紙の通り願い出ましたので、勘弁して取り調べたところ、これまでの三橋の御入用は定式・臨時ともに去る子年は閏月がございました間、見合わせることができず、去々亥年一ヶ年の御入用は

However, after the strict orders were issued, patrols must be conducted every small half-hour (one hour), and since half-night shifts are insufficient to maintain proper coverage, when personnel naturally become short due to illness, scheduling conflicts, and such, night watch duties must be continued without interruption. Therefore, a petition was submitted as shown in the attached document requesting that additional allowances be granted during night watch duty. Upon careful consideration and investigation, regarding the expenses for the three bridges, both regular and extraordinary, since there was an intercalary month in the previous Ne year, it cannot be used for comparison, so the expenses for one full year in the year before last (Inoshi year) were
