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.

The Cardiff District was formed out of the Glamorgan Estate in 1842, 'of that part of the Marquis of Bute's Estate that is situated in Cardiff and its immediate vicinity comprehending the Town of Cardiff the Docks and accommodation Lands extending easterly to the confines of Adams Down Farm on the road leading from the Bristol Channel along the Cardiff Moors to near the County Gaol and from thence to the East Toll Gate on the Turnpike Road leading to Newport and from thence along the Road leading to the Race Course to Crws y bychan Toll Bar to the Road over the Railway Bridge at the Top of Cathays Park and along the Boundary of the Blackweir and Park Farm to the Taff River following its course from thence to the Channel' (R 5/1, cover). In 1842 Cardiff was made a separate district. The arrears of 1841 and the previous years were however charged to the 'Cardiff District and are contained in the following pages' (R 4/1, p.3). From 1876/77, most of the remaining Cardiff properties and all of the Roath properties in the Glamorgan Estate were transferred to the Cardiff District which, as Cardiff, has rentals coming down to 1895. Many of the draft Cardiff District rentals (series R 5) contain an index to streets which was not fair-copied into these rentals, except in 1894 and 1895 (R 4/43 and 44). R 4/12-26 contain lists of 'Public House License Money', listing Bute's licensed Cardiff premises and their tenants.
