現代語訳
一 同日、御城下町筋へ村々の百姓共が大勢罷り出て、御用達町人の極印屋庄左衛門・美濃屋喜左衛門両人の家・土蔵、その外諸道具を打ち毀した。騒々しきにつき、御徒目付ならびに町与力組の者等を差し出して取り鎮めようとしたが、納得致さないので、郡奉行共が罷り出て、早速退散致すよう取り計らうべき旨を、月番御家老酒井外記【割書：知｜喬】が申し渡した。
一 三月二十六日、右同断につき、御城下七口へ早朝より諸組の者を差し出し、村々より罷り出た百姓共へ理解を申し渡したが、聞き入れず、次第に大勢になり甚だ騒々しいので、町奉行・郡奉行へ、月番家老酒井外記【割書：知｜喬】が申し渡した。
寺社町奉行へ
御自分支配下へ、今度御才覚金を仰せ付けられ候ところ、下地困窮につき、数納延べを願い申し達し、ならびに御才覚金を差し出さない軽き者共までも難義の筋有之由にて、組頭共の方へ大勢願い出で候旨、これにより御才覚金御免に成され候。その段申し渡さるべく候。

英語訳
One: On the same day, large numbers of peasants from surrounding villages came out into the castle town streets, and smashed the houses, storehouses (dozō), and various furnishings of two domain-service merchants (go-yōtashi chōnin): Gokuin'ya Shōzaemon and Minoya Kizaemon. As the situation was riotous, the Foot Inspectors (o-kachi metsuke) and the town mounted constables (machi yoriki) and their men were dispatched to suppress the unrest. However, as the crowd would not be pacified, the District Magistrates (kōri bugyō) were sent out, and the Monthly-Duty Senior Councillor (tsukiban go-karō) Sakai Geki [personal name: Tomotaka] issued orders that measures be taken immediately to disperse the crowd.
One: On the twenty-sixth day of the third month, in connection with the above, men from the various units (shokumi) were dispatched early in the morning to the seven gates (nanakuchi) of the castle town, and explanations were conveyed to the peasants who had come out from the villages. However, the peasants would not listen, and their numbers gradually grew larger and the disturbance became severe. Accordingly, the Monthly-Duty Senior Councillor Sakai Geki [personal name: Tomotaka] issued the following orders to the Town Magistrates (machi bugyō) and District Magistrates (kōri bugyō):
To the Temple, Shrine, and Town Magistrates (jisha machi bugyō):
Whereas the emergency levy (saigakukin) was ordered upon those under your jurisdiction, and as the area is impoverished, petitions have been submitted requesting extensions on payment in installments; and further, as even those of lesser means who have not put forward the emergency levy have reportedly presented themselves in large numbers before the unit heads (kumigashira) claiming hardship—accordingly, the emergency levy is hereby remitted. You are to convey this to those concerned.
[End]
To the Three District Magistrates (san-kōri bugyō):
Whereas the emergency levy was ordered upon those under your respective jurisdictions, and as the area is impoverished, petitions have been submitted requesting extensions on payment in installments, and those of lesser means have come out in large numbers to the castle town…
