.... s which are in Honolulu.
On Waititi side are premises of Isaac Lewis or Coleman, also on Makai side
Ewa side are native lands formerly Keleau's and
Mauka by native lands (Muaa's).
These premises are now occupied by Mr. True, and have been a series of years. Mr. Rogers has possessed them for 20 years; he got the place about 1827. The lot is fenced and has a house on it. I owned this land myself in 1826 and enclosed it with a large piece. I gave it up and claimant then took it and built a house on it, and lived there till he left the Island in 1840. I never knew his right disputed till the present time.
John Kuiau, sworn, I can only repeat the same testimony as Mr. Boyd's, which I know to be true as far as occupancy is concerned. I know Mr. Rogers lived peaceably till he left in 18490, and that Mr. True has occupied the place ever since. Mr. Boyd's account of the boundaries is correct.
Freehold &c. voted 22d December
