Records of the civil and military authorities, in as much as they can be separated from the personal papers and estate records of the archive. Note: there are very many letters relating to the militia among Bute L 1-136; copies of the Militia Acts, 1829 and 1830, have been added to Bute P 1.

The Bute estate solicitor maintained a library of Acts of Parliament relevant to the interests of the estate. This library was originally held in file cases, numbered 1-93, arranged in alphabetical order by subject:. Aberdare, Aberdare Railway, Aberdeen, Abertillery, Alexandra (Newport and South Wales) Docks, Ayr, ... Taf Fechan Water Supply Board, Taff Vale Railway, Trades Unions, Tredegar, Treferig Railway, Truck, Turnpike Trusts, ... These Acts relate mainly to south Wales. There are also a number of Acts of a general administrative nature, and a number that relate to Scotland, England and Ireland. The latter may relate to other interests, of either a landed or an investment nature, of the Bute estate; alternatively, they may have been used as exemplars when drafting Bills for private Acts, or have strayed into the Bute collection from other Acts of interest to the estate solicitors. The Acts have now been rearranged in chronological order within broad subject groups: Central Administrative Acts (P 1); Road and Bridge Acts (P 2); Canal Acts (P 3); Dock, Port, Harbour and Pier Acts (P 4); Railway Acts (P 5); Public Works and Public Utilities Acts (P 6); Administration of Justice Acts (P 7); Commons Inclosure Acts (P 8); Personal Acts (P 9); and Ecclesiastical Acts (P 10). Unless an Act relates to a specific project or projects, it will be found amongst the Central Administrative Acts, even if it deals exclusively with the subject matter of one of the other classes. Therefore, an Act for consolidating in One Act certain Provisions usually inserted in Acts authorizing the making of Railways, 1845, and An Act to amend the Law with respect to the Hours of Labour of Railway Servants, 1893, will both be found amongst the Central Administrative Acts, rather than amongst the Railway Acts. The Acts of some companies will be found under two or more headings. For example, the Acts of the Barry Dock and Railways Company will be found split between the Dock Acts and Railway Acts, according to the nature of the Act. A small number of Acts were found in other parts of the archive and have been added to this library.

John, second marquis of Bute, died on 18 March 1848. The Glamorgan estates immediately came under the control of the executors of his will and the trustees of John Patrick Crichton-Stuart, the infant third marquis, as exemplified by Edward Priest Richards, who closes his account with Lord Bute and opens an account with the executors and trustees during the course of the day's business (A3/23). The third Marquis came of age in Sept. 1868 but, rather than manage the estate personally, he chose to allow the trust to continue to manage the estate on his behalf. The trust was finally wound up in 1902 having fulfilled the duties laid upon it by the will of the second marquis. The trustees' minute book is the record of the meetings and decisions of the executors and trustees during the early days of the trust. It also contains copies of letters sent.

Estate and family papers of Griffith of Carreg-lwyd and Holland of Berw, co. Ang., and Trygarn of Trygarn, co. Caern, 14-19 cent.; valuable papers relating to affairs of state, early 17 cent. (John Griffith was secretary to Henry Howard, 1st earl of Northampton), and to local affairs, 17-18 cent. The schedule is a notoriously unsatisfactory one. Many of the more important documents are described more fully and satisfactorily in Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts, Fifth Report (1876), pp. 405-423.
