○別紙の通り、公儀から御預所へ仰せ出されたので、御領分の件も同様に守り、心得違いのないよう、急度支配下へ申し渡すべき旨
公儀より御預所へ仰せ出された御書付写
○御用につき諸役人その外手代・家来等の在出又は検見等の節は、本陣・旅籠屋・村々では名主並びに重立った百姓の宅に止宿し、木銭・米代を支払うのは勿論、所有し合わせの品をもって一汁一菜の外は差し出すべからざる旨申し渡した事である。在々の件は、御用を重んじるあまり、賄い方も自然と大掛かりになり、家作の破損等を取り繕い、或いは諸道具等を工面し、足りない入用等も余分にかかる趣が聞こえている。右のような事は勿論のこと、今後諸道具等を工面し備えるとも及ばず、随分手軽にして成り合いに取り賄うべきである。且つまたその場所によっては、組合村々の村役人等、その御用向きに関わる村方の者どもが、旅宿の都合で前夜又は前日から詰めており、銘々酒食等を給し合い、右の類まで追って村入用に割り合う向きがあるとも聞こえ、不埒の至りである。詰めている銘々の食事等は申し合わせ、なお更軽くし、もっとも右は自分の雑費とすべき事である。以来村入用に割り掛ける事は堅く仕るべからざる旨、急度申し付けておくべきである。右の趣きども、若し用いない輩があれば、早々訴え出るべき旨申し渡すべきである。勿論家来・手代へも右の趣きを申し渡し、すべて村入用が余計にかからないよう取り計らうべきである。私領の村々へも右の趣きを寄々申し通すよう、これまた申し渡すべきである 十月

一、諸役所より引き渡し者の件は、その役所において吟味があり、その科の証人があるか、又は証拠物何れ印等があるとも、白状に及ばず拷問を仰せ付けられる節は、町役所へ引き渡しの上、その支配頭が吟味をすべき事につき、その節は町奉行・御目付立ち合いを仰せ付けられるべき事

○ As stated in the attached document, this has been proclaimed from the government office to the administered territories, so regarding your domain as well, the same should be observed, and without any misunderstanding, this should be strictly communicated to your subordinates.
Copy of the official document proclaimed from the government office to the administered territories
○ For official business, when various officials and their clerks, retainers, etc. go on inspection tours or land surveys, they shall stay at official inns, lodging houses, or at the residences of village headmen and prominent farmers in villages, paying for firewood and rice expenses as a matter of course, and shall not provide anything beyond one soup and one side dish with whatever provisions are available, as has been communicated. Regarding rural areas, in emphasizing official duties, the catering naturally becomes elaborate, with repairs to building damages, procurement of various utensils, and extra expenses for additional needs, which has been reported. Such matters are naturally prohibited, and henceforth, even if various utensils are procured and prepared, this is unnecessary - arrangements should be made simply and modestly according to circumstances. Furthermore, depending on the location, village officials from associated villages and village people involved in official duties stay at lodgings from the previous night or day for convenience, sharing food and drink among themselves, and it is reported that even such expenses are later allocated to village expenses, which is completely improper. The meals of those staying should be arranged more simply through consultation, and these should naturally be their personal miscellaneous expenses. Henceforth, allocating such costs to village expenses is strictly prohibited and should be firmly ordered. If there are those who do not comply with these instructions, they should be reported immediately. Naturally, retainers and clerks should also be instructed accordingly, and arrangements should be made so that village expenses do not increase unnecessarily. The same instructions should be communicated to villages in private domains as well. October

○ Since the administrative procedures of offices have been mixed up until now, this has been proclaimed as stated in the attached document. Please understand and handle accordingly. An additional separate document is provided which should be communicated to the wholesale merchants.
