No.30, Kahoowaha, Puukolo, April 20, 1846
To the Land Commissioners: This is a description of the place where my parents lived, Kapuukolo. From the time of Kamehameha I and the battle of Nuuanu my parents lived there and then Kuihelani came. When they died I was their heir to their house site of Kapuukolo. This is my place which I petition for an edge of my place to be returned. A place thirty(sic) five wide (sic) was taken. This was taken by the strangers at Kapuukolo. Although I forbade them to do such a bad thing, their slippery actions resulted in their houses being in the wrong place, from that time to this. Therefore I explain it to you who remove the troubles of the government, so this trouble can be ended.

No. 30, Kahoowaha (see page 61, Vol. 1), vs. Keo Bolabola
Makaioulu, sworn, I was a native during the time of Kamehameha I, my wife was from this land and she died here. I have seen this place over which there is a dispute between Kahoowaha and Joe Ii the beginning, I had known it was for Kahoowaha during the time of Kamehameha I, Kuihelani was the tenant and Kukalanipo was the fisherman. Upon Kuihelani's death, this land was bequested to Kauwaumakea and Kukalanipo was still the fisherman. The place was not enclosed, but house have been built and each individual place under Kukalanipo has a fence, when Kukalanipo died during the reign of King Liholiho.
Kekuanui, his own brother-in-law inherited the land and he lived there. He built a wooden fence for one side of this place and left the other side open because the nets were there. He lived there till his death at the time Liholiho died in Britain. He had bequested his land and estate to his punalua, Ohuaole. Ohuaole lived there; later, immediately after the death of Nahienaena and Kinau was yet alive, I saw Kawai with two other persons come from Waialua and lived with his friends, Kina and Koalakahi. Later he was evicted for having mischievously put out the lamp one evening, then his wife acted as a wife to Ohuaole and Ohuaole gave them a house upon her request to live under him. The place was to be returned to Ohuaole should Kawai decide to leave the place. He has lived there since he had received the place to the present. I have not known that he had filed a claim for this time, I have known this only now.
Postponed: Until another witness is available.
