PRYCE (NEWTOWN HALL) CORRESPONDENCE, &c. (Continued from Vol. xxxi., p. 336). 1901, Jan. 20th, Miss SARAH BRISCO died. WE record with much regret the death of Miss Brisco, a great grand-daughter of Diana, the daughter of Sir John Pryce, the fifth Baronet (see Pedigree, vol. xxxi., p. 67), and at the time of her decease, the owner of the Newtown Hall estate. Miss Brisco had become a member of the Powysland Club, and placed at our service a mass of original correspondence and documents, in the publication of which she was greatly interested. She had expended a considerable sum in improvements at Newtown Hall, where her ancestors for five centuries had resided, and where she herself intended to reside a part of each year but this was not to be. Miss Brisco recently erected a fine public clock with Cambridge chimes, which she presented to the town ot Newtown, and had also promised an excellent site for a public Library. Her niece, Mrs. Frances Arbuthnot, who has succeeded her, intends, we understand, to carry out Miss Brisco's wishes in this respect. XCIX. No date. About 1640-1642.
