An audience composed entirely of Chinese listened attentively on Friday afternoon, in the Wellington" Magistrate's Court, to a case in which Louis Kitt prosecuted Ow Gee on a charge of assault. Accused pleaded not guilty. It appeared (says the Post); that the trouble arose over some correspondence in the Melbourne Chinese Times. Accused's uncle had written to the paper in appreciative terms or the work being accomplished in New Zealand by the Chinese Association. Complainant had replied in language that was deemed insulting Jealously had already existed between Kitt and Gee, as members of rival factions Incensed at the "letter to the editor," accused made a special journey down from Levin, and met complainant in a fruit mart, where he struck him, bruising his eye It was also .alleged that accused still threatened complainant; regardless of the result of the prosecution. A lot of evidence was heard, at the conclusion of which Dr A. McArthur, S.M., decided that Ow. Gee must pay a fine as well as court costs (£4 14s),  Marlborough Express, Volume XLIV, Issue 15, 20 January 1910, Page 3
