MAORI FINED £lO. DROVE TO POLICE STATION. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WAIPUKURAU, August 9. Arrested after driving his motor-car to the police station on another errand, a Maori, Rang! Rupuha, for being intoxicated while in charge of a motorcar, was fined £lO, and his driver’s licence was cancelled for six months when he pleaded guilty in the MagisCourt, Waipukurau, yesterday, before Messrs F.
