現代語訳
（前頁より続き）先規の通り堅く申し付け置き候。しかるところ、近年城下において馬に乗り無礼の振る舞いをする百姓がいたため、召し捕って吟味いたし候ところ、御料（幕府直轄領）の者だと申し候。その者が私領・他領の者であるかどうかも不分明で紛らわしい状況でございます。このことにつき、御先役都筑長左衛門殿・松田又兵衛殿・平岡吉左衛門殿が御支配されていた折に申し達し候ところ、いずれも百姓へかねて右の段を仰せ付け置き候えども、なおもって仰せ付けられるべき旨を仰せ聞かされ候。しかれば、他領の者どもが御料（幕府領）の仮名を使っているとのことを、支配下の百姓どもも申し候間、自今以後は、右の輩（やから）のうち無礼の者がいた場合は、お召し捕りの上ご吟味の上、こちらの支配の百姓どもであれば仰せ聞かせていただき、
急度（きっと）申し付けるべき候。なおまた、在々（各村）へ堅く申し付けるべき候間、右様に心得申すべき旨、いずれも申し越し候。その節、使いの者が御手代中へ申し達し候は、右の通り慮外者を捕えた際、吟味の内（取調べ中）に福井に宿（寄留先）のある者であれば、宿に預け置くべきこと候。宿のない者については、各様へ申し達す間での間は、まず牢に入れ置くべき候間、左様に御心得くださるべき由、申し談じ候。いずれも、もっともの由、御返事にございました。
一、盗賊ならびに欠落者（逃亡者）のある節は、いずこにおいても見逢い次第搦め捕り、その所にまず預け置き、御支配方へ相達し次第引き取り申す儀でございます。もっとも、先だって御支配の方へ相達してから搦め捕り（次頁へ続く）
英語訳
(Continued from previous page) ...as per established precedent, this shall be strictly enforced. However, in recent years, peasants have been found riding horses within the castle town and behaving disrespectfully. When they were arrested and examined, they claimed to be subjects of the御料 (Goryō, i.e., the Shogunal domain). It has been unclear and difficult to determine whether such persons are subjects of private domains or other domains. Regarding this matter, when it was communicated to the previous administrators — Tsuzuki Chōzaemon-dono, Matsuda Matabei-dono, and Hiraoka Kichizaemon-dono — during their terms of administration, they all stated that although these provisions had already been communicated to the peasants, they should nevertheless be reiterated and enforced once more. Furthermore, since peasants under their administration have also reported that persons from other domains falsely claim to be subjects of the Goryō (Shogunal domain), from this point forward, should any such individuals be found behaving disrespectfully, they are to be arrested and examined, and if they prove to be peasants under our administration,
the matter shall be dealt with strictly and decisively. Furthermore, as these regulations are to be strictly communicated to all villages, everyone should be aware of the above. At that time, the messenger communicated to the officials (tedai) that when a disrespectful person is apprehended and is under investigation, if that person has a lodging in Fukui, they should be held at their lodging. If they have no lodging, until notification can be made to the relevant parties, they are to be placed in jail in the meantime. All parties responded that this was a reasonable arrangement.
Item: When thieves or fugitives (kakuochi-sha, i.e., those who have fled their domain or obligations) are encountered, they are to be apprehended on sight regardless of location, held temporarily at that place, and returned to the appropriate administrator's custody once notification has been made. Furthermore, with regard to first notifying the administrator before making an arrest... (continued on next page)
