御目付の手引きの件および算用出 御用部屋留
一、貞享三年九月二十五日、横目役の面々へ御足軽の他に手引きの者を二人ずつ下し置かれる旨、江戸において村上三太夫・西尾伝兵衛へ申し渡された旨の連絡があったため、丹羽八左衛門・海福勘助へ申し渡した。
一、同年十月二十五日、横目付中の算用出の件で、手引きの他に半頭御足軽一人を御用の時分だけ算用出するようにとの御意により、江戸において村上三太夫・西尾伝兵衛へ申し渡された旨、右の趣旨を丹羽八左衛門・海福勘助へ申し渡した。
御貸し下さるよう御目付共が願い申し上げたところ、当分三人ずつ御貸し成される旨、御目付月番小川与右衛門その外へも今日御座所において狛舎人が申し渡した。
手引きが止められたため、代わりに組の者の内二人ずつ御貸し成されることになったが、今まで罷り在る者故、扶持代等を申し付けるならば二人では不足する。今後組に空きがあり新参者を召し抱えるならば、その者を手前に差し置くべきである。それまでの間は三人ずつ。
一、正徳元年十二月十一日、目付中五人へ下された手引き十人が止められた。ただし、この代わりに組の者を御貸し成されるので召し連れるべし。御目付井上半大夫・堤安右衛門・小川与右衛門へ申し渡した。四月十四日御目付共。
一、同二年二月二日、御目付共の手引きを止め、組の者の内両人ずつ御貸し成された。御在国中は先に三人ずつ御貸し下されるよう最初に目付中が願い申し上げその通りになったが、御留守の節は一人ずつ、江戸では両人ずつ御貸し下されるよう目付中が願い出たため、願いの通り目付中へ本多修理が申し渡した。ただし江戸で三人ずつ御貸し下されては組の者の江戸回りも詰まるため右の通り願い出た由。
一、御持筒頭共の組の者一人ずつ御貸し成される筈のところ、その義に及ばない趣旨により、他は止めて月番へだけ一人ずつ御貸しする筈。右目付中が達したためその通り申し聞くようにと修理が申し渡した。
諸組並びに支配
一、総御足軽共の内、病死或いは暇を遣う場合は御目付へ断り申し上げる筈。もちろん代わりの者を召し抱える節も御目付へ断り申し上げること。
一、貞享四年七月十八日、月番斎藤民部の自宅において諸月番へ御目付西尾伝兵衛・海福勘助が加わって左の通り口上で申し渡された。御家老中御用留をもって校合。
覚書
面々の組の者の内で暇を出すならば横目中へ相談すべきである。召し抱える段も申し達すべきである。総じて組に空きがあれば早速召し抱え、数日空けておかないようにすべきである。もちろん左様なことはあるまじきことながら、自分の者のように手前に差し置いて召し仕えてはならない。右の段、今後いよいよその意を得るべし。
この外、荒子・中間等預かりの者共へも申し聞かせるよう、それぞれ支配の輩へ達された。
一、正徳四年十月七日、江戸御留守居村上三太夫組の御足軽の内十一人を遠侍所番人に成し、中仕切番人と名付け、御切米一石ずつ増し、都合八石二人扶持ずつに成し下され、江戸に詰める御持物頭共の支配に仰せ付けられた。
一、享保七年十二月九日、中仕切番人二人御増し、都合十三人に成された旨、御側物頭月番土屋十郎右衛門が申し渡された。
一、享保二年八月十三日、御前へ罷り出た節に伺ったのは、最初御足軽を勤めた者で寄親の気に入らないか、または行跡の悪い者を何となく御扶持を放した者共が、御家中で若党奉公をしているのを御足軽として他の組へ抱える儀があります。この段は宜しくない儀と存じます。今後右のような者は抱えないよう寄々物頭共へ申し聞かせましょうかと伺ったところ、もっともな儀と思し召され、その段を申し聞かせるべき旨の御意により、同十五日左の通り諸物頭へ書付で達した。
覚書
面々今後組の者を抱える節、前方は御長柄の者以上を勤めて御扶持を放した者を抱え

Regarding Attendants for Inspectors and Calculations - Office Records
1. On the 25th day of the 9th month of Jōkyō 3 (1686), it was communicated that in Edo, Murakami Santadayū and Nishio Denbei were instructed that each of the lateral inspector officials should be given two attendants in addition to foot soldiers. This was conveyed to Niwa Hachizaemon and Kaifuku Kansuke.
1. On the 25th day of the 10th month of the same year, regarding calculations for lateral inspectors, by His Lordship's will, one semi-head foot soldier should be dispatched for calculations only during official duties, in addition to attendants. This instruction was given to Murakami Santadayū and Nishio Denbei in Edo, and this matter was conveyed to Niwa Hachizaemon and Kaifuku Kansuke.
When the inspectors requested to be lent personnel, it was decided that three persons each would be temporarily lent. This was announced today at the audience hall by Koma Toneri to monthly duty inspector Ogawa Yoemon and others.
Since attendants were discontinued, two persons each from the group would be lent as replacements. However, since those currently serving require stipend payments, two persons would be insufficient. If there are vacancies in the group and new recruits are hired in the future, such persons should be assigned to their respective positions. Until then, three persons each.
1. On the 11th day of the 12th month of Shōtoku 1 (1711), the ten attendants assigned to five inspectors were discontinued. However, since group members would be lent as replacements, they should be brought along. This was conveyed to Inspectors Inoue Handayū, Tsutsumi Yasuemon, and Ogawa Yoemon. 14th day of the 4th month, inspectors.
1. On the 2nd day of the 2nd month of the same 2nd year, attendants for inspectors were discontinued, and two persons each from group members were lent. During the lord's residence in the domain, it was previously requested and granted that three persons each be lent. However, the inspectors requested that during the lord's absence, one person each be lent, and in Edo, two persons each. Honda Shuri conveyed that the request was granted as asked. The reason given was that lending three persons each in Edo would cause congestion in the group's Edo rotation.
1. Regarding the practice of lending one person each from the gun-bearer captains' groups, since this was deemed unnecessary, others were discontinued and only one person each would be lent to monthly duty personnel. Since the inspectors communicated this, Shuri conveyed that it should be announced accordingly.
Various Groups and Supervision
1. When any of the foot soldiers dies of illness or is dismissed, this must be reported to the inspector. Naturally, when hiring replacements, this must also be reported to the inspector.
1. On the 18th day of the 7th month of Jōkyō 4 (1687), at the residence of monthly duty official Saitō Minbu, with Inspectors Nishio Denbei and Kaifuku Kansuke present, the following was orally conveyed to various monthly duty officials. Verified with the senior councilors' official records.
Memorandum:
When dismissing any group members, consultation with lateral inspectors is required. Hiring must also be reported. Generally, when there are vacancies in groups, hiring should be done promptly, not leaving positions vacant for days. Of course, such situations should not arise, but one must not employ people privately as if they were one's own retainers. From now on, this intent must be thoroughly understood.
Additionally, this was communicated to those supervising servants, attendants, and others under their charge.
1. On the 7th day of the 10th month of Shōtoku 4 (1714), eleven foot soldiers from Edo deputy Murakami Santadayū's group were appointed as distant guard duty personnel, named "partition guards," given an increase of one koku of rice stipend each (totaling eight koku and two-person rations each), and assigned to serve under the weapon commanders stationed in Edo.
1. On the 9th day of the 12th month of Kyōhō 7 (1722), two partition guards were added, making a total of thirteen, as conveyed by monthly duty aide commander Tsuchiya Jūrōemon.
1. On the 13th day of the 8th month of Kyōhō 2 (1717), when appearing before His Lordship, I inquired: "Some who previously served as foot soldiers but fell out of favor with their sponsors or had bad conduct have somehow lost their stipends, and these individuals are now serving as young retainers in the household, then being recruited as foot soldiers into other groups. I believe this practice is improper. Should I inform the various commanders not to recruit such individuals in the future?" His Lordship deemed this reasonable and ordered that this be communicated. On the 15th of the same month, the following was distributed in writing to all commanders.
Memorandum:
When recruiting group members in the future, those who previously served as spear-bearers or above but lost their stipends should not be recruited.
