.... the taking of the pig's sty. I became the officer to bring about the land of Kainapuaa under Kanoa. I had seen the sty broken apart and the natives and I built another sty. We have built twice on our own time and not on the konohiki work days. I had not heard Pi say to Nalanai that Hooliliamanu had sent him /Pi/ to halt Kanoa's work on that hog sty. The pig's sty that I had heard about had been built at the time of Kamehameha I, although I have not known who had built it, the konohiki maybe, or probably the natives, but there are several people who own houses there now: Keliikuli, Kialua, Pahia and Kualaha. They have house claims at this time.

Kamehaiku, sworn for Nuuanu, I am a true land child there from my parents and I am still living there. I have heard my father had first lived there since the battle of Nuuanu and this is also true of Nuuanu's parents. They had built this hog's pen for their pigs; they had fetched the rocks from Kaiwiula to enclose the sty; the konohiki did not do this work. When Mahi, his /Nuuanu/ father died, the pig's sty had been bequested to Nuuanu and he has had it to the time the land was taken by Kanoa. I do not know about the protest.

No. 8305, P. Kanoa, from page 634, Protest, Kamehameha III

S. Kuluwailehua, sworn, I have seen these lands over which there is a dispute between Kanoa and Kamehameha III. The lands are Kainapuaa and Kumupali. I had first seen these lands in 1842.

The boundaries are:
Mauka, land of Kalualoa
Waikiki, land of Kuhimama
Makai, land of Kumupali
Ewa, Kilikiliaua, Hare's /Harry?/ land.

I had gone on a settlement tour with the old-time residents of the place a long time ago and I should remember Kumapali's boundaries if I could see the land and the boundaries of Nauala. I had known at the time Hooliliamanu had sold his house lot to G. P. Judd that a small portion of Keoneula and Kawaiiki were in Hooliliamanu's lot; however, if I could see these lands again, I should be able to identify the boundaries properly just as I had done the first time.
