.... ter the death of M. Kekauluohi in 1847. The government had possession of this land in 1848 and during the Mahele, Holowaliwali was released. He [She] has been living there to the present time without doing any work and the taro which is growing now is for the new konohiki's own tenants.
This is my true testimony regarding Holowaliwali's claim. Disregard my previous statements.
N.T. 434v9
The Verdict
It is clear through this testimony that Holowaliwali had received this land in 1847, he [she] had departed from it at the time the government had possessed it in 1848. He [She] has lived elsewhere to this day without planting or cultivating and the yield in foodthere since 1849 to the present has been for the konohiki only. Therefore Holowaliwali has no claim. The land commissioners had decided for the konohiki according to the law, in that Holowaliwali had a new claim and he [she] had deserted it completely.
Signed, J. Kekaulahao
