現代語訳
享和三年亥十一月十二日、普請奉行坂井権左衛門・武田太郎左衛門が申し聞かせたのは、手木の者の飯沢官平という者が病気のため暇を願い出て、その通り申し付けたが、跡任を召し抱える際は連絡するということであった。しかし手木の者については年数が満了していない者が病死や立て替えなどの際に、補充人事を伺うことがないため、借銀高の書付も提出していないと申し聞かせたので、今後は補充人事について伺うよう申し伝え、借銀高書付についてはこれまで提出していないことであれば、補充などが仰せ付けられる際に書付を提出するよう申し伝え置いた。これについて次の通り書面で申し伝えがあった。
「書面にてご連絡いたします。手木の飯沢官平という者が患部があり奉公を勤めることが困難なため、暇を下されるよう役人共を通じて願い出ました。詳しく吟味したところ、御用に立たない病状でございますので、願いの通り暇を申し渡しました。そのため跡任一人の補充もございませんでしたら、自分で抱えたいと存じます。右についてご連絡申し上げます。以上」

このように申し来たので、補充もないかと奉行に調べさせたところ、当時はないとのことなので、自分で抱えるよう両人に申し伝えた。
【行間朱書】享保十二、三年頃の記録に、手木の者の空きに大坂から召し抱えて来ることがあり、その後も続いていたが、甚だ不都合なので宝暦二年から中止した。
貞享四年卯十二月二十九日、大坂にて手木の者十人を拘束して差し遣わすよう、最初に普請奉行上月八郎左衛門に仰せ渡され、すぐに普請方甲斐次郎兵衛に足軽二人を添えて差し遣わしたところ、十人とも召し抱えて参ったと先日連絡があった。これに関して、八郎左衛門組の内の大石小次右衛門という者をその小頭に申し付け、八郎左衛門が諸事を申し付けるようにとのことであった。
元禄二年巳九月二日、手木の者十人が今度大坂で召し抱えられ、最初からの手木の者共と合わせて二十人の外に小頭一人、今度小頭一人をこちらで召し置き、以上十一人ずつを普請奉行両人に支配を仰せ付けた。
宝暦二年申五月二日、手木の空きの代わりの者として大坂者を召し抱えることを家老中に伺ったところ、当分大坂者を召し抱えることは中止し、代わりの者を吟味して召し抱えるよう本多民部方から申し聞かせがあったので、さらに普請奉行共に申し伝えた。
寛政元年酉年、組の者が倹約掛りを仰せ下された件は徒目付の部に出ている。
元禄十六年未十月二十九日、床桶屋長兵衛が勝手不如意のため願い出て原平左衛門組に入れられた。
享保五年子八月十六日、寄合八百石の高屋六郎左衛門が江戸で乱心のため家断絶となり、高屋源七に新知百五十石を下され家名相続を仰せ付けられた。この六郎左衛門の家来大塚金八という者が扶持人を望むなら持筒組に入れることを内々に調べたところ願い出たので、九月五日に金八を持筒組に入れて召し出した記録がある。【朱書】御用部屋の記録に、六郎左衛門が江戸で乱心して家来を手討ちにした際、家来吉田勘兵衛・大塚金八という者両人が働きの品もあり、勘兵衛は少々傷を負ったという事情もあったので、目付大谷儀左衛門組の空きに召し抱えるよう江戸で仰せ出された。金八については先だってこちらに帰っており、他に出ることもなく望むことがあれば、これもまた儀左衛門組に召し抱えるよう申し聞かせるとの江戸からの連絡により、先月の月番堀十兵衛に申し渡したところ、すぐに召し抱えたとのことである。
享保三年戌七月三日、上月武左衛門が召し使う若党坪田甚六という者が、先頃四月二十六日の夜、武左衛門の家来弥兵衛の馬屋の者（女、同人の妻）に手傷を負わせた際によく働いたとお耳に達したため、今度津田源之丞組に空きがあるので御入れ下されたいとの御意向を味岡市九郎が申し聞かせ、すぐに荒川助右衛門宅に武左衛門を招いて申し渡し、さらに甚六にも申し渡して助右衛門組に差し添えて源之丞方に差し越した。源之丞は普請奉行である。
ただしその女は町方で療治して平癒の上、在所に引き渡し、弥兵衛は...

英語訳
On the 12th day of the 11th month of Kyōwa 3 (1803), Construction Magistrates Sakai Gonzaemon and Takeda Tarōzaemon reported that a carpenter (teki) named Iizawa Kanpei had petitioned for leave due to illness, which was granted as requested. They stated that when hiring a replacement, they would report accordingly. However, regarding carpenters, when those who had not completed their term of service died of illness or were replaced, no inquiry was made about replacement personnel, and no documents listing outstanding debts were submitted either. Therefore, they were instructed to inquire about replacement personnel in the future, and regarding debt listing documents, if these had not been submitted before, they should be submitted when replacements are appointed. The following written communication was received regarding this matter:
"We communicate by letter. The carpenter Iizawa Kanpei has an ailment and finds it difficult to perform his duties, so through officials we petition that he be granted leave. Upon thorough investigation, his condition renders him unfit for service, so leave was granted as requested. Therefore, if there is no replacement personnel available, we would like to employ someone ourselves. We report this matter above."
Sakai Gonzaemon
Takeda Tarōzaemon
11th month, 12th day, To Nara Tarōzaemon-sama
Having received this communication, when the magistrates investigated whether there were any replacement personnel, they found none at present, so both men were instructed to hire someone themselves.
[Interlinear note in red]: In records from around Kyōhō 12-13 (1727-1728), carpenters were hired from Osaka to fill vacancies, and this continued afterward, but since this was highly irregular, it was discontinued from Hōreki 2 (1752).
On the 29th day of the 12th month of Jōkyō 4 (1687), Construction Magistrate Kōzuki Hachirōzaemon was initially ordered to arrest and send ten carpenters from Osaka. Construction officer Kai Jirōbei was immediately dispatched with two ashigaru attendants, and all ten were successfully recruited. It was previously reported that within Hachirōzaemon's group, Ōishi Kojirōemon was appointed as their leader, with Hachirōzaemon to give all instructions.
On the 2nd day of the 9th month of Genroku 2 (1689), ten carpenters were newly recruited in Osaka. Including the existing carpenters, this made twenty men plus one leader, and one additional leader was retained here, making eleven men each to be supervised by two construction magistrates.
On the 2nd day of the 5th month of Hōreki 2 (1752), when inquiring with the house elders about recruiting replacement carpenters from Osaka to fill vacancies, Honda Minbu-kata instructed that recruiting from Osaka should be temporarily suspended, and replacements should be hired after proper investigation. This was further communicated to the construction magistrates.
In Kansei 1 (1789), the matter of group members being appointed to economy supervisory positions appears in the foot soldiers' inspector section.
On the 29th day of the 10th month of Genroku 16 (1703), bathtub maker Chōbei was admitted to Harahira Saemon's group upon petition due to financial difficulties.
On the 16th day of the 8th month of Kyōhō 5 (1720), Takaya Rokurōzaemon (800 koku retainer) suffered a mental breakdown in Edo, resulting in house extinction. Takaya Genroku was granted 150 koku new stipend and ordered to continue the family name. Regarding Rokurōzaemon's retainer Ōtsuka Kinpachi, when privately inquired whether he wished for a stipend position, he could be admitted to the gun-bearing group. Upon his petition, on the 5th day of the 9th month, Kinpachi was admitted to the gun-bearing group and summoned. [Red notation] In the duty room records: When Rokurōzaemon had his mental breakdown in Edo and killed retainers, his retainers Yoshida Kanbei and Ōtsuka Kinpachi both showed good service, and Kanbei sustained minor injuries. Therefore, it was proclaimed in Edo that they should be employed in Inspector Ōtani Gizaemon's group vacancy. Regarding Kinpachi, since he had already returned here and did not go elsewhere, if he had any requests, he should also be employed in Gizaemon's group. Following this communication from Edo, when this was conveyed to last month's duty officer Hori Jūbei, he was immediately employed.
On the 3rd day of the 7th month of Kyōhō 3 (1718), a young retainer named Tsubota Jinroku serving Kōzuki Buzaemon performed well when recently (on the night of the 26th day of the 4th month) a woman (wife of Buzaemon's retainer Yahei who worked in the stables) was injured. This came to official attention, so since there was a vacancy in Tsuda Gennosuke's group, he was to be admitted by lord's intention. Ajioka Ichikurō communicated this, and Buzaemon was immediately summoned to Arakawa Sukeemon's residence and informed. Jinroku was also informed and sent with Sukeemon's group to Gennosuke. Gennosuke was a construction magistrate.
However, the woman received medical treatment in the town quarters and upon recovery was sent to her home village, and Yahei was...

Until around Kyōhō period, mosquito fumigation patrols were assigned during summer. This was discontinued around the 8th month. However, on the 11th day of the 5th month of Kyōhō 13 (1728), while it was the season to assign household mosquito fumigation patrols, since this served little purpose, it was decided after consulting the house elders to assign them only during windy periods, discontinuing regular assignments.
