EXCITEMENT AT STATION
MAORI APPARENTLY BECOMES, MAD. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, December 1. A Maori, Patrick Tait, aged 26. who caused excitement at the railway station last evening, pleaded guilty in the Magistrates' Court to charges of drunkenness and using obscene language. “He was drunk and apparently suddenly became mad,” said Sub-Inspector Fox. “’lie ran along the station and. frightened a crowd of people, then Went into a bookstall and frightened the young women assistants. The police were called and found Tait being held down by tWo porters. He gave trouble until lodged in a padded cell. He has never been in trouble before, and seems a decent chap when sober.” Mr C. R. Orr Walker, S.M., fined Tait 10s for drunkenness, and he was convicted on the other charges and ordered to come up for sentence if called upon within six months. He was also ordered to take out a prohibition order.
