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.

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.
