Draft monthly accounts,

The main sequence of this class is a run of annual booklets which continues after the 1842 reorganization of the estate as the Cardiff District draft monthly accounts. The Glamorgan Estate draft cash books, which serve the same purpose for that department of the estate after 1842, are appended to this class as A3/29-30. From the death of the second Marquis on 18 March 1848 the agent accounted with the executors and trustees of the Marquis of Bute and from 30 Sept. 1848 with the Marchioness of Bute. A3/24 includes the accounts of the Marchioness of Bute and A3/27-8 are exclusively her accounts. A number of booklets containing late eighteenth century accounts, both draft and fair copies, are to be found bound in R 1/6 and 7. From A3/4, each volume runs from 1 Aug. to 31 July.

Accounts current,

This class is the agent's copy of the annual settled account signed by Lord Bute. In later years, however, the estate and the agent's copies appear to have become mixed - or at least less distiction was made between the two - as some of the booklets listed below are signed by the auditor and some by the agent, while some are signed by both, and one is a duplicate endorsed 'Not to be signed'. The post-1842 accounts are for the Cardiff District only. Post-1842 settled accounts for the Glamorgan Estate will be found in class A7. Each volume runs from 1 Aug. to 31 July.

Yearly accounts,

A7/1-5 are volumes into which the estate's copy of the annual settled account has been copied, while A7/6-8 are gatherings of annual booklets similar to the agent's copy in class A6. The early volumes, A7/1-4 and 8, were also known as ledgers. The post-1842 accounts, A 7/9-14, are for the Glamorgan Estate only, and run from 10 July to 10 July; the equivalent accounts for the Cardiff District will be found in class A6.

Cardiff deeds (exchanges),

Deeds And Documents relating to properties acquired by the Marquis of Bute by exchanges. Although kept by the estate solicitors as a separate class of 'Cardiff deeds (exchanges)' in Bute tin box number 35, and relating mainly to the Cardiff area, they also contain deeds for p's Ystradyfodwg and Pen-tyrch and other places. A small number of deeds relating to exchanges have been added to this class.

Manorial leases and agreements,

These leases, originally in the Bute tin boxes numbers 32-4, are for a variety of terms: lives, terms of years, and latterly yearly, and also include a large number of agreements to take leases. The bundles were organized by man. or groups of man's, and formerly contained a number of copies of court roll, which have been transferred to Class M, manorial records. A number of the remaining deeds may well relate to properties that had once been copyhold. A number also relate to properties represented by bundles in the main series of deeds, e.g. Cathays and Plas Turton in Cardiff. A number of man's are unrepresented, eg, Llyswyrny, Peterston and St Fagans, and Ogmore and Spittle, among others, appear to be under-represented.
