A FIGHTING MAORI.
TOO MUCH WAIPIRO. CONVICTED AND PROHIBITED. Yesterday afternoon, when Mr. Sydney Groat, horse trainer, was driving his four cows home to milk at Mangere he was stopped by a Maori named B. Pauwharo, who caught hold of hi 9 horse's bridle and refused to let him proceed. A neighbour came to his assistance, but not before the Maori had torn his overcoat. This morning Pauwharo appeared before Messrs. D. A. Sutherland, and H. J. Davies, J.P.'s. at the Onehunga Police Court on charges of assaulting Sydney Groat, damaging his coat, and threatening behaviour. Sergeant J. A.

Pauwharo pleaded guilty to tlie first and third charges, but not to the second. He was fined £1 for the assault, and ordered to pay 17/0 taxi hire; also to make restitution of 25/ for damage to the coat. For the threatening behaviour he was convicted and discharged, and he was prohibited at his own request.
