J. Kahula, sworn, Knows the patch in dispute. It belonged to, or was occupied by Maluo in the time of Kamehameha I. He confirms in general the testimony of the last witness. The patch in dispute belongs to Maluo (or his heirs). He cultivated this patch from the time it was restored to him by Kamakini (or Pualinui) up to his death, and his widow has held it since up to this time. The food now growing there belongs to her.
(Decided in favor of Maluo)
