T.J. & J. Smith's pocket diary and almanack, 1880, and Lett's pocket diary and almanack, 1881, 1882, 1883 and 1889. Frequent handwritten meteorological, personal and business entries by Henry Hussey Vivian. The diaries have handwritten entries by Vivian for most days within these years. They provide sometimes detailed accounts of day to day business, conversations, trips and leisure time, often referring to his third wife Averil as 'Ave'. The entries relate to time spent at Hafod Works which was his main place of business, and also to occasions working in Parliament as an MP for Swansea District and Glamorgan. Also noted are business trips including a trip to Paris, dinners, and many entries for game shooting. There are references to Prime Minister William Gladstone and to various bills being debated in Westminster including the Coercian Bill (Ireland), Irish Disturbance Bill, Coal Employees Liability Bill. There is a detailed account of the visit of the Prince of Wales to open the Prince of Wales Dock in Swansea in October 1881 when Vivian was a member of the greeting party. Near the back of the diary for 1880 are a breakdown of cash accounts seemingly including many donations to institutions and places of worship, including Bala College and local chapels.

Court leet presentments

The court leet presentments scheduled below comprise fifty-six bundles, plus two court books of the Barony of Kemes (1825-40; 1860-1885), and one court book of the corporation of Newport (1812-21). The bundles, in addition to the 'Presentments' at the Easter, Michaelmas, and the adjourned Leets (if any) in each year conveyed, also include 'Rolls of the Suitors' (with indications of the defaulters) to the Leets of the several manors, together with subsidiary documents, such as the Steward's warrants and precepts, &c., to the bailiffs of the manors and to the petty constables of the parishes in connection with the summoning of, and the execution of the work of the court. Throughout the names of the Court officials (Steward, Recorder, and Affeerers or Moderators), the Jurors summoned and sworn, are given. 'Rolls of Suitors' appear regularly up to about the last quarter of the eighteenth century-(at least so in the Barony of Kemes series-the only series yet examined in detail). Occasional stray 'Court Baron' proceedings and 'Estreat' particulars occur here and there; these on a detailed examination of the various bundles may be extracted and placed in the 'Court Roll' and 'Estreat' categories.
