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.

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.

From A5/14, each annual account runs from 1 Aug. to 31 July. The previous volumes run approximately Jan.-June and July-Dec.

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.
