現代語訳
一、文化六年己年八月十八日、三国港問丸共に御趣意を仰せ出されたため下され置かれた俵数を御扶持方に御直しを下され置かれるよう、並びに苗字帯刀共に役中仰せ付け下され置かれるよう相願いした。これにより、苗字の件は願いの通り御免とされた。御扶持方並びに帯刀の件は御取り上げに及び難い旨仰せ出された。
一、袴縁上の件につき御徒目付達
一、在々において袴縁上御免と申すのは、前々は旧家で由緒のある者、又は御用筋出精して勤めた者の件は御評議の上御免を下された趣である。しかし当時は由緒もなく身分の低い者でも、冥加として銀六百匁以上上納した者は、支配所より奇特の趣で袴縁上御免の伺いがあれば御免を下され、また、その身一代袴縁上御免の者が代替わり等をした者は翌年に至り相願いすれば親代の通り御免を下される御振り合いで、その身一代と申すのは名目のみとなり、代々御免も同様である。右は近来の御振り合いで追々袴縁上御免の者共が多くなり、畢竟農業疎かになる基となり、別して当人共も気位が高くなり、兼ねて小前の者共に対し権威を振るって傲慢になる者共が多く、迷惑になる筋もあるとのこと。少分の銀子を献上して袴縁上御免を蒙り御威光に■る儀などと、あれこれ批判する様な儀もある趣に聞こえるので、以来は格別の由緒のある者又は御用等を勤める者の件は格別として、初めての袴縁上は銀二貫匁以上、継目の袴縁上は銀一貫匁以上を冥加として上納する者共は、それぞれ御吟味の上御免となるようになれば、自然と袴縁上御免の者共の数も少なくなり、御締りもよろしかろうと思われるので、前条の趣兼ねて御内定があってはいかがであろうか。なお御高評があるよう仕りたく存じ奉る。以上 丑四月 御徒目付共
一、御札所元締役を仰せ付けられる者で、その家々先代より元締を勤めた者がない初めての場合は、町奉行へ仰せ付け、御札所目付へは心得に仰せ渡される。その家に先代勤めた者があり、その子孫の場合は御札所目付へ仰せ付け、町奉行へは心得に仰せ渡される。
ただし在方の者は初めてでも御札所目付へ仰せ付け、郡奉行へは心得に仰せ聞かされる。

英語訳
1. On August 18th, Bunka 6 (己 year, 1809), regarding the official directive issued to the Mikuni port question circle and others, they petitioned that the stipend rice granted be converted to regular stipend, and that they be granted surnames and sword-bearing privileges during their service. Accordingly, the surname matter was approved as requested. Regarding regular stipend and sword-bearing, it was announced that these could not be granted.
1. Regarding hakama and verandah privileges, from the foot inspectors:
1. In rural areas, hakama and verandah privileges were previously granted after deliberation to those from old families with lineage or those who served diligently in official duties. However, currently even those without lineage or of low status, if they donate six hundred monme or more of silver as religious offering, receive petitions for hakama and verandah privileges from their administrative areas citing their exceptional conduct, and these are approved. Moreover, when those granted lifetime hakama and verandah privileges are succeeded by others, if they petition the following year, they are granted the same privileges as their predecessors. Thus "lifetime" has become merely nominal, and hereditary approval has become the same. This recent practice has led to an increase in those with hakama and verandah privileges, ultimately causing neglect of agriculture. Furthermore, these individuals become arrogant and often abuse their authority toward small farmers, causing much trouble. There are reports of criticism that they donate small amounts of silver to receive hakama and verandah privileges and then rely on official prestige. Therefore, going forward, except for those with exceptional lineage or those serving in official duties, for first-time hakama and verandah privileges, those donating two kan monme or more of silver, and for inherited hakama and verandah privileges, those donating one kan monme or more as religious offerings, should be examined individually before approval. This would naturally reduce the number of those with hakama and verandah privileges and improve control. We would like to have this matter pre-decided and seek your high evaluation. Above. 4th month of Ushi year. Foot Inspectors.
1. For those appointed as chief supervisors of permit offices: if their families have no previous history of serving as chief supervisors and it is their first time, they are appointed under the town magistrate, with the permit office inspector informed for reference. If their family has someone who previously served and they are descendants, they are appointed under the permit office inspector, with the town magistrate informed for reference.
However, for rural people, even if it is their first time, they are appointed under the permit office inspector, with the district magistrate informed for reference.
