James Robinson, deposed, I bought the Premises of George Anderson, George Anderson bought them of a Chinaman, who bought them of W. Dana, Mr. Dana got them of Governor Boki before he went to England. No one has ever disputed any of the successive claims to my knowledge.

No. 82 & 86, Thomas Phillips, (see page 116)
Minor's sworn testimony: I have seen that he has lived on that property as it was stated and I know that no one has objected this.
Kalaimoku's sworn testimony:Maybe it was Phillips who told the king and the king asked me to go nd see Hoapili about this place and Hoapili said, "What about it? The king has given it to him." When the king heard that Hoapili had consented, we went to Pilipi's' long house (halau) as the king had bade us to do; however, we did not see the sections which were acquired by him. hoapili asked Phillips to remove all of his belongings and to destroy the halau. Phillips complied for a time by residing elsewhere; later he returned there, built a house and lived there. I have not heard that anyone has objected.
Greetings to you, John Ii: I have received your correspondence on the house lot of Phillips. It was such a long time ago, I cannot recall all about this property; however, I do remember some part ....

John Wm. Maikai's sworn testimony, Koiamai related to me just outside the house thus, "Waolani had come (to us) and we had refused him. He reported to M. Kekuanaoa and he (Kekuanaoa) said to Waolani, "Go and do as I say (to do)." Waolani came back to us and said, "If you people refuse what I want to be done, then you people are to leave!" Thus, we kept our mouths closed.
Koiamai: Waolani did talk to us and we had withheld (land) from this person (here). We refused and he returned to M. Kekuanaoa to tell him that Koiamai (plural) had refused him. He again came to us to grant him a favor lest we were the ones to be evicted. This made us stop.

No. 80!, 86, 97, Thomas Phillips, Adjustor's Claim, September 16, 1846
[this is included because it appears to concern No. 82 specifically.]
Kalama (Phillips' true wife), sworn testimony, When Waolani had come, I was there and Waolani had explained that Kekuanaoa earlier had given (land) to this person (here). Phillips and Waolani went with Maikai to find the distance and the depth (of the land). After this [the] survey was done, he reported to Governor M. Kekuanaoa, then returned to tell us that all had been completed and was good. At that time Koiamai was living there and he was evicting us. So Waolani runs again to M. Kekuanaoa and when he returned he said to us, "If you people evict me for my words, then you will be the ones to leave." Koiami heard this and he did not utter a word. Waolani granted the place to us with the jury doing their part first; later this settlement was made which was also for the inland property. Waolani recorded the entire estate and surveyed the property for clarity.
