The arrangement of the accounts follows the pattern of those in ACC 1/2. At the foot of the account for 1644 is a statement explaining a deficit made up by a payment from the dividends of the Master and Fellows. In 1651 Arabic numerals were used throughout the account for the first time. At the end of the book are accounts for: Dr Sherman's benefaction for paving the Chapel with black and white marble, £100; Mr Charles Gibson's for adorning the Chapel, £100; additional new seats in the Chapel, and painting them; paving the outer Chapel with freestone, and setting up seats at the West end; London rents with the names of tenants, 1686; charges about Mr Somervile's legacy to the College decreed by the Court of Chancery; receipts from Loughborough, 1695, and Hundon, 1691-2; Mr Somervile's Act.

Contains annual accounts, as before. If the expenses exceed the receipts in any year, the difference is paid to the Bursar out of the Dead College Fund. The flyleaf has a note: "Price of this book 5s. 6d. Guglielmus Lewis." and a memorandum in the hand of Dr Saywell, 1684, about the cost of "wainscotting the East end of the Chapel", paid for by Saywell as Master and by the President, Dr Cooke. Hundon [trust] accounts for 1698-1708 are at the end of the book, worked from the back. Half calf binding, 12+ x 8+ in. 1676-1709

Miscellaneous accounts by Hugh Shield, Bursar.

Ledger, with alphabetical index.

Contains half-yearly rentals, with: name of tenant, reserved rent in money, wheat, malt, total rent in money, and college commons. Then follow: Cambridge rents in money only, total of London rents, pensions (Foljambe's, Lady Bennet's, Marshall's Exhibition). A second column, in the Michaelmas accounts only, has: quit rents received, out rents including payments to the University waits, the London rent collector, the University beadles, for sermons, the Steward of Graveley, the Shelford poor, and the University Marshal. At the foot of the account are tables of current prices of wheat and malt. After the rental for 1745 is: the Dividend Paper, 1685-1745, consisting of a list of receipts, chamber rents, receipts from degrees fees, and payments to various servants, the library, the garden, etc.; the last to be deducted from the sum of the first three. In a second column, to be added, are fines received; to be deducted "corn money owed to Commons" and "capon money owed to Commons". This calculation establishes the dividend, which is divided in 18 parts, two of which go to the Master and one to each Fellow. From 1709 there is "a charge for Exceedings at Christmas" and from 1712 "a charge for Commencement Supper".

The volume is indexed by tenants' names. The corn rent is calculated as in the preceding vols, but by tenant not by property. For houses, tenants are listed under names of streets. After 1856 there is nothing to show what arrangement is used, except for the London rents. There is a separate list of hosues and gardens let at rack rent.

Includes card filing system detailing rents paid by individuals on a weekly basis for the property they leased from the College, 1945-47; 14 ledgers, 1966-88.
