不致候間家帳間数地押
申付為改候所申立とは齟
齬いたし候間同人持地
之内間数相違之分引揚
平六え相渡候様裁許申渡
候得共彼是強情張不
致承伏不埒に付手鎖申
附て其後為見廻り郷組之者
差遣候節手鎖はつし
罷在候に付召捕入牢申付
置候得共更に先非御後悔【悔が海？】
躰も無之上を不恐不届
不快に付急度罪料可申付
処格別之以用捨町住居
構屋鋪借地取揚御家中
徘徊差廻申渡候然る所
幼年之倅有之由に付成長
之上書仕御憐憫取払
地所可被下候間此旨右路
妻子之者得と可申聞置候

承伏しなかったため、家帳・間数・地押しを申し付け、改めさせ候ところ、申し立てとは齟齬いたし候間、同人持地の内、間数相違の分を引き上げ、平六へ相渡し候よう裁許申し渡し候えども、彼是と強情を張り、承伏いたさず不埒につき、手鎖を申し付けた。その後、見廻りのため郷組の者を差し遣わし候節、手鎖をはずし罷り在り候につき、召捕り入牢申し付け置き候えども、さらに先非を後悔する体もなく、上をも恐れず不届き不快につき、きっと罪料を申し付くべき処、格別の御用捨をもって、町住居構い・屋敷借地取り上げ・御家中徘徊差廻しを申し渡し候。しかるところ、幼年の倅これ有る由につき、成長の上、書仕り御憐憫をもって取り払い地所を下さるべく候間、この旨、右路妻子の者へ、とくと申し聞かせ置くべく候。
英語訳
[Right folio]
...as [she] refused to accept the mediated settlement, [the authorities] ordered a survey of the household register, room counts (kenzū), and land measurement (jiosshi) to be carried out and reviewed, whereupon [the results] were found to be inconsistent with [her] claims. Accordingly, a ruling was handed down ordering that the portion of land within [her] holdings found to differ in the room count measurement be taken back and transferred to Heiroku. Nevertheless, [she] stubbornly persisted in resistance over various matters and refused to accept the ruling — an act of flagrant misconduct — and was therefore placed under hand-shackle (tесusari) restraint. Subsequently, when members of the village group (gōgumi) were dispatched to make an inspection visit, it was found that [she] had removed the hand-shackles, and [she] was therefore arrested and ordered confined to prison. Even so, [she] showed not the slightest sign of remorse for her past misconduct, and in her fearlessness toward authority and thoroughly unacceptable and disagreeable conduct, [she] ought properly to have been sentenced to strict punishment; however, by special leniency, [she] has been ordered: prohibition from residing within the town (machi-jūkyo kamae), confiscation of her rented residential plot (yashiki shakuchi toriage), and restriction from wandering within the domain (go-kachū haikai sashimawashi). That said, as it is understood that [she] has a young son, when he comes of age and submits a written petition, [she] may, through an act of benevolent compassion, be granted the return of the confiscated land. Accordingly, this matter should be thoroughly conveyed and made clear to [her] wife, children, and other family members.
