一、同五年十二月十九日、町奉行大宮彦右衛門より、上総長三郎に御作事御用を申し付ける段申し渡した所、有難く存じますが、鎌・鉈・鋤・鍬等の件は御用で私どもの役目の件でありますから何分にもいたしますが、その外の件は刀鍛冶の法では難しく存じます旨申したので、その段相達した所、奉行らとよく申し合わせるべき旨申し聞かせた
一、同九年八月二十五日、金津奉行水野善左衛門・郡奉行井原丞助・皆川三左衛門へ、殿様が御幼年でいらっしゃるため、面々支配下の件について念を入れて申し付けるべきことですが、なお一層念を入れ、願等に差し支えないよう裁許をなすこと。もし組頭らの手前で滞る件もあろうかと、その段も申し付けるよう御家老中より申し渡された

私は数代御百姓を続け、当時殿様仁徳の御代に逢い、内に父母妻子を養い、外に盗賊等の憂いなく安穏に過ごしております事は殿様御仁愛の御厚恩と有難く存じております。私の祖父吉左衛門が常々玉恩の深いことを存じ、不意の御用にも役立つようにと心がけ、平生の衣食等を随分倹約し、冥加として銀子を少々除け置きました。なお子孫に申し伝えたのは、衣食等を随分簡素にし少しずつでも冥加として銀子を除け置き、御用に役立つようにすべきこと。もっとも末々に至り身上が潰れる体になっても、この金子は一銭でも身体の方へ取り遣いしてはならない旨遺言いたしました。よって親吉左衛門より私に至ってもこの心がけでおります。然る所、私は近年不手廻りとなり御拝借等の御陰で少分質物の取り遣い等をし身体を続けている仕合でございますが、なお御重恩の件と存じますが、身上不手廻り故銀子を除け置くことも難しく、先祖の本意に背き迷惑に存じます。然しながら数年除け置いた銀子の件は少しも取り散らしておりません。よって願い上げますのは、少分の金子でございますが、都合金子百五両を当時の仁徳の御代に献上いたしたく、表向きの願いは御取り上げ遊ばされ御用の方に分一にも御立て下置かれますならば、上に仁君の御恩徳に服し、下に先祖の志を顕し、有難く忝く存ずべきです 以上
右の願書を御家老中へ相達した所、御奉行らと申し合わせるべき旨申し聞かせられた。然る所、翌十八年三月五日、右の趣き奇特に思し召しにつき吉左衛門所持代

On February 25th, 5th year of Bunka era, according to an official notice from the senior magistrates (ōmetsuke), regarding the continuation of copying the Official Record of Filial Piety and Righteousness (Kankoku Kōgiryoku), an investigation of exemplary persons of filial piety was ordered, with Ōmiya Hikoemon and Murata Jūdayū appointed as officials in charge, to investigate in consultation with district heads and report.
On October 19th, 1st year of Shōtoku era, the following was announced by Sakai Tenzen at the lord's residence:
To Town Magistrate Atsumi Shin'emon:
- When there are impediments to commerce in the town, consider the circumstances and report. However, do not cause trouble for minor merchants.
- Investigate and order that townspeople laborers not be used indiscriminately.
To District Magistrate and Kanazu District Deputy:
- Investigate and order that many laborers not be used. Even if official business is impeded, if farmers suffer hardship, report this matter.
On March 29th, 3rd year of Kyōhō era, when digging a water channel beside the residential plot of a farmer named Rokuemon in Mentori village under Suzaki Saburōemon's district, some iron was excavated - five pieces weighing 9 kan 900 me - and immediately submitted to the district office. Later, two bales of rice were granted to this person.
On December 11th, 1st year of Kyōhō era, in the council records, when town painter Mikageike Chūbei of Itaya-chō petitioned for relief due to financial distress, he submitted a memorandum showing 105 years of various official service since his grandfather. 105 years before the current year would be the 17th year of Keichō (1612), when Lord Tadanao was 18 years old.
On June 16th, 4th year of the same era, regarding the aforementioned Chūbei, it had been previously ordered that when there were territorial disputes or visits to other domains requiring maps, he should not go out as he was a person who carried out official duties. However, his son Kinbei petitioned to be allowed to go when requested, not limited to official domain business. But since the son also assists his father during official duties, he should not be sent out. Therefore, Chūbei was to continue receiving the previously granted stipend of three persons' worth, as announced to Senior Retainer Ōmiya Hikoemon on the 21st of the same month.
On December 19th, 5th year of the same era, Town Magistrate Ōmiya Hikoemon announced to Kazusa Chōzaburō that he would be appointed to construction official duties. He gratefully accepted, saying that regarding sickles, hatchets, hoes, and plows, since these are official duties within our role, we will certainly handle them, but other matters would be difficult to accomplish using sword-smithing methods. When this was reported, he was told to consult well with the magistrates.
On August 25th, 9th year of the same era, to Kanazu Magistrate Mizuno Zenzaemon and District Magistrates Ihara Jōsuke and Minagawa Sanzaemon: Since his lordship is still young, you should pay careful attention to matters under your respective jurisdictions, but even more carefully ensure that petitions are not hindered and decisions are made properly. If matters are delayed by group leaders, this should also be addressed, as announced by the senior retainers.
On February 11th, 1st year of Hōei era, there is a record that Shichizaemon, the wholesale agent of Yasuhara village, presented a Yoshimitsu sword (length 2 shaku 1 sun) inherited from his ancestors, which District Magistrate Oka Saburōemon reported to the Master of Ceremonies for presentation.
On April 5th, 12th year of Kyōhō era, District Magistrate for Crown Lands Eguchi Jirōbei reported that when farmers from crown lands go to Edo for term service and wish to bring their sons, it was decided that: for sons up to age 15, they may accompany and remain during the service term as petitioned; for children 16 and older, they should first return according to regulations and be sent if term service is petitioned for.
On the 11th of the same month and year, the same person reported that the monthly birth and death registry for crown lands should be discontinued, which was approved since annual household registers were being maintained.
On March 16th, 16th year of the same era, when Kinbei, son of town painter Mikageike Chūbei, went to study in another province, since he had previously assisted with provincial maps, he was made to write a pledge document at the residence of monthly duty officer Tochiya Han'emon, with Map Magistrate Uchida Shōzaemon presiding.
On the last day of July, 17th year of the same era, Sasagawa Tōnai reported that armor craftsman Shōemon, having been appointed to make ceremonial armor and being sent to Kyoto, would carry the original armor and insignia, so permission was requested to allow Shōemon to carry a sword as before.
On June 29th of the same year, Fujishichi, son of Mikageike Chūbei, was summoned to serve as a page and granted the usual privileges.
On August 11th of the same year, District Magistrate Minagawa Heizaemon reported a petition copy from Kichizaemon of Nikaidō village:
"I have continued as a farmer for generations and now live under the benevolent rule of our current lord, supporting my parents, wife and children within, without worry of bandits or other troubles, living peacefully. This is due to our lord's benevolent and profound grace, for which I am deeply grateful. My grandfather Kichizaemon, always mindful of this profound favor and hoping to be of service in unexpected official needs, practiced frugality in daily food and clothing, setting aside some silver coins as offerings of gratitude. He further instructed descendants to live simply regarding food and clothing, gradually setting aside silver as grateful offerings to be of service. He left instructions that even if the family fortune should collapse in future generations, not even one coin of this money should be used for personal needs. Therefore, from my father Kichizaemon to myself, we have maintained this resolve. However, in recent years I have fallen into financial difficulty and thanks to official loans, I have managed to survive by pawning small items, though I remain deeply grateful for this profound grace. Due to my financial difficulties, I cannot set aside silver coins, which troubles me as it goes against my ancestors' intentions. However, I have not spent any of the silver accumulated over the years. Therefore, I petition that although it is a small amount, a total of 105 ryō in gold, I wish to present this during our current lord's benevolent reign. I humbly request that this offering be accepted and used even partially for official purposes. This would allow me to serve our benevolent lord's grace above and honor my ancestors' intentions below, for which I would be most grateful and honored."
This petition was reported to the senior retainers, who said it should be discussed with the magistrates. Subsequently, on March 5th of the following 18th year (Ushi), considering this matter exemplary, regarding Kichizaemon's holdings...
