Signed, George Holmes

Kama, sworn, I have heard clearly the testimony given by Kaiwiaoao and I have known in the same way. No one has objected except for Ohule's two land sections yet he had received them from his grandparents.
G. Holmes had received his interest from his parents in 1825 and he has lived comfortably. During the Mahele in 1848 the land was granted to him permanently by King Kamehameha III.
