C.J. Lyons, sworn for Petitioner
Am a surveyor, Surveyed portion of Kalawahine, all that is supposed to remain to the Konohiki, Mrs. Levi Haalelea. The tract of land called Iwilei is a part of Kalawahine. It is the portion on the sea coast, adjoining Kahololoa on the West. In making the survey I had some natives living on the land for guides, and took their united testimony. Cannot recall their names. They were agreed as to description, except In making the survey I had sundry patents and awards which I endeavored to follow, examining the land Commission records. I remember Harbottle, Uweia, Paele, Kekai and William Sumner and made my notes of survey according to the showing by the native witnesses and the descriptions in the awards or patents.
The survey, marked A, begins at centre of a well established coral rock and comes down the middle of an old auwai; thence on old kuauna to fish pond, following Kekai's patent; then follows outside wall of pond to Sumners board fence (the pond belonging to His late Majesty) where it meets Sumners boundary. Kaholaloa, the award of which I followed. My description in notes being quoted from the Survey of said award – to a pile of stones at extreme South or Southwest corner of this lot. This line may be different as the variation of compass may be taken, but I am of opinion that the proper and original line of awarded to Kahololoa, is that which brings the Southwest corner to said pile of stones for otherwise the line along the East shore of the island would extend beyond its obvious fixed natural limit. The line along said island to the West corner is in conformity to the Kaholaloa award. Thence along a portion of the sea called Molokahana, following foundation of an ancient fish pond wall. (Molokahana is said to belong to W.L. Moehonua.) to where it joins the wall of fish pond, Kuwili; well defined; thence along that wall to corner of Kaia's kuleana, between it another Harbottle kuleana, along Hueia & Paele to beginning. My particular description & survey follows records with the [page 222] foregoing general description.
Kaena, sworn, I live on Kalawahine; have lived there eight years; came to Oahu when Leleohoku died and lived at Palama. I know that Iwilei is an Ili of Kalawahine. I know its boundaries and pointed them out to Lyons surveyor (No, I was with the surveyor and was shown the boundary), Paele & co. pointed out the boundaries. The piece of land that was surveyed was Iwilei.
The testimony concerning Iwilei is here susp ....
