A. Pinsent, as the local director of the association, said Birmingham was very sensible of the many advantages of having the provincial meeting held in the city.

Solihull Shooting Fatality: A shocking gun fatality, by which Mr. W. A. Upton, head of the well-known firm of James Upton, Cambridge Street, Birmingham, lost his life  took place at Mr. Upton’s residence, Berry Hall, Solihull on Saturday evening … … The Inquest: Mr. T. Christophers (coroner) held the inquest at Berry Hall, Solihull, on Monday morning. Among those present were Mr. R. Pinsent, solicitor, who represented the family, and superintendent W. Carbis of Solihull. The first witness was Harriet Newbold, parlour maid at Berry Hall, who said that on Saturday last, about 5.30 p.m. she was startled by the report of a gun. She was in the house at the time, and the report seemed to come from the lobby at the front of the house. She went out at once and found Mr. Upton lying on his back. She did not see the gun at the time. She was that he was injured and rushed down to the stables and fetched the coachman and groom … … Mr. Upton was very unsteady in his gait, so much so as to give the impression that he had been drinking, although for some time he had been a teetotaler. He had stumbled against the witness several times, and this was common in vertigo. He was fetched and saw the body. The jury, after a retirement, returned a verdict of “Accidental death”.
