.... a, beginning at Kalahu & going mauka, Kapahulu would be on Honolulu side, and Waialae-Nui on other side. I don't know how far Waialae-iki comes towards Honolulu, for I did not go on Webster survey.
Cross-examined: My father's name was Kaawa. He was a witness before Kamakau. My father told me all this when he was old and feeble. He took me on the land and showed me boundaries on that side because there was some dispute. Our house was near Kupikipikio. We went up to Kalepeamoa; we went on foot. My father was one of Mahuka's kahus. It was after the case before Kamakau and Makalena.
S.K. Kaai, sworn, states, I have lived at Waialae at various times, with Mahuka, who was my uncle. The longest time I lived there was for about one year. I only knew of the boundaries recently when Mahuka showed them to me; he started from Kupikipikio [sic] to “Kamaiopili,” then round base of Daimond Head to Kalahu; from there to Government road; from there he said it went up to Kalepeamoa; he only went with me as far as Government road; he said a part of Waialae-iki covers and joined Government road and [page 20] Kapahulu. Telegraph Station is on Waialae-Nui; there is a pile of stones along there that he said was placed there when Webster made his survey. My Uncle lived there from time he was a child and my Grand-father before him. There was a woman, who was a relative of our family on the land before Mahuka. Her name was Kaholohau. After she died Mahuka came on the land, but they did not put in their claim for it. They let the Chief put in his claim for the land.
Cross-examined. I became attorney for Keliikolani in 1877. It was after that my Uncle showed me these boundaries. I think in 1878.
Lukia, wahine, sworn, states, I have lived at Waialae-Nui from about time the old Fort was destroyed up to present time. I don't know the boundaries between Kapahulu and Waialae-Nui. I heard the Telegraph Station was on Waialae-Nui.
C.J. Lyons, sworn, states, I have made a survey of that part of this island, but not of any particular lands. I have no notes of Webster's Survey.
R.W. Meyers, sworn, states, This map is Webster's survey of Waialae-nui. I got it at Keliikolani's house.
Mr. Hatch offers in evidence Royal Patent No. 3578 of Waialae-iki and and [sic] copy of notes of Webster's survey of that land.
Mr. Hatch reads his case.
Mr. Dole offers in rebuttal the evidence of Keonaho's evidence taken in case [page 21] before Kamakau on pages 69 and 70 of the records.
Matter closed on all sides. [?] arguments made by Counsel
June 29th 1883
From all the evidence taken in the above Matter I find and certify the boundaries of the said land to be as set forth in Survey filed with the Petition as follows:
No. 2, No. 69 (see No. 5) & 81
