.... he thought it was more than he ought to have. To the 3rd objection I replied that as the taro patches of Koa were as he said near the S. boundary of the land, they were not in the part I had added but in the original survey by Mr. Pease which had already been awarded that such an objection was never before made to any one, nor to Mr. Pease. & when I was on the ground, neither Kanae, nor any other there knew of any taro patches in all that land (Okipu) that did not belong to Alaiki, but that Kanae told me expressly that he had no dispute with Alaiki about his claim. He asked to bring his witnesses by the 10th Inst unless he found Koa has cultivated those patches with Alaiki's permission - in which case he should drop the objection & write me a note. This has not been done - & I conclude I shall hear no more from him.
