.... ot. Kaahumanu had the land and had given it to me. No one has objected to him about this house lot.
Keoni, sworn, I have seen Kalaikoa giving him a place to build a house. This person here gave Kalaikoa money, but I do not know the amount, and it was in the year 1837 or 8 perhaps. I do not know the reason it [land] was taken away. The claimant then is saying that I had asked for a payment for building a casket and because he had reproved my actions, the land was taken away.
William Richards, sworn, After the death of Kalaikoa this person here came to me and said, "Kaeo is angry and is thinking about demolishing my house", and I said to him, "Don't be afraid, I believe it cannot be done for the houses are protected these days. He made frequent reports to me after that, yet I have not known what had happened. I have heard that the house was demolished. This person here is saying that there was a sale between Judd and him and Keoni Ana and these two have said that they will investigate, when the flag has been returned.
