Judgment - Saikyodome

Japanese: 裁許留 - さいきょどめ

This is a record of civil court decisions compiled by the Hyojosho of the Edo Shogunate. It contains 45 volumes of legal precedents from 1702 to 1867 in chronological order, but they were all destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. Kyoto University now has one copy each from 1720 to 1714, and Tokyo University has one copy each from 1778 to 1882. The only other records are fragments found in the Tokugawa Kinryo Kogoshu. The Hyojosho was a court that heard civil cases between people of different territories, such as between the Tenryo and Daimyo territories, or between Daimyo territories and Hatamoto territories, so there are many legal precedents regarding access to forests, wilderness, water, and fishing grounds.

江戸幕府の評定所が編纂した同所の民事裁判の判決記録。元禄 15 (1702) ～慶応3 (1867) 年の判例を年代順に収めたもので全部で 45冊あったが，関東大震災 (1923) のときにすべて焼失した。いまは京都大学に享保5 (1720) ～14年，東京大学に安永7 (78) ～天明2 (82) 年の分の副本各1冊が残り，ほかに逸文が『徳川禁令考後聚』にみえるだけである。評定所は天領と大名領とか，大名領と旗本領とか，支配者の異なる土地の人民相互の民事事件を審理する裁判所であったため，山林，原野，用水，漁場の入会 (いりあい) をめぐる争いの判例が多い。
