金津奉行・町奉行・郡奉行へ申し通す御書付
一 金津奉行・町奉行・郡奉行が役宅・役所において詮議の節、御目付の立合いがあったとしても、詮議が済み落着した御仕置伺いの件は、その奉行より例式の伺いの振合いを以て伺うべきである。古来よりその役所ごとに御定めもあり、例書留帳並びに三奉行へ御渡しの御定書を以てその節の伺いをする事がある。御定書にない科目はその節の御評議にもなり、御目付共の存じ寄りの件は書面等にて申し達すべき事は相知れた事である。御仕置伺いの件はその奉行より古来の振合いを以てこれまでの通り相伺うべき事である。
一 御在江戸の節、御目付立合い詮議等ある節の口書の件は、その奉行より江戸詰合いの御目付へ相廻すべき事
一 御目付方にて御仕置を伺書に認め、詮議を口書等で相廻す事は心得違いの事と思し召される。詮議は一件その奉行ごとに取り扱うべき筋である。然るところ御目付方にて済ませるならば、金津奉行・町奉行・郡奉行の御役を指し置く詮もない事である。
右の通り向後心得違いのないよう仰せ出される。以上

Written orders to be communicated to Kanazu Magistrate, Town Magistrate, and District Magistrate
1. When Kanazu Magistrate, Town Magistrate, and District Magistrate conduct deliberations at their official residences and offices, even if inspectors are present, matters of punishment inquiries that have been deliberated and settled should be reported by those magistrates following the customary reporting procedures. Since ancient times, each office has had its regulations, and there are precedent record books and official regulation books given to the three magistrates for making inquiries on such occasions. For offenses not covered in the regulation books, they become matters for deliberation at that time, and inspectors' opinions should be communicated through written documents, which is well understood. Punishment inquiries should be made by the respective magistrates following ancient customs as before.
1. When the lord is in Edo, oral statements during inspector-attended deliberations should be forwarded by the respective magistrates to inspectors stationed in Edo.
1. It is considered a misconduct for inspectors to write punishment inquiry documents themselves and circulate deliberations through oral statements. Deliberations should be handled as individual cases by each respective magistrate. If inspectors handle these matters themselves, there would be no point in appointing Kanazu Magistrate, Town Magistrate, and District Magistrate to their positions.
As stated above, it is commanded that there be no misconduct hereafter. End.

Announced December 14th, Year of the Rooster However, at the home domain it was announced January 29th
To All Monthly Duty Officers
〇Due to ongoing financial difficulties and the great flood of last summer causing excessive crop damage in the domain, plus enormous repair costs and expenses mounting up, combined with accumulated debts creating an unavoidable financial crisis, we are compelled to request a half-reduction rice loan from all retainers for this year. Accordingly, written orders are being distributed. All matters should be understood according to the precedent when half-reduction rice loans were ordered in previous years, and magistrates will provide further instructions. Additionally, by the lord's decision, frugality measures are being ordered, so separate written orders will be distributed.
Written Order
For some time, the domain finances have been running annual deficits with no solution in sight. Since the year before last, through the lord's special consideration, various financial reforms have been implemented from his personal funds, hoping that eventually even a small portion of rice loans might be forgiven. Strict austerity measures were also ordered, but before these policies could take effect, last summer's ancient
