.... thfully:
When Kaumualii, King of the island of Kauai, was alive, I gave the lo`i named Kanaele to Kamaholelani, Konohiki of the land of Peekauai, Waimea, Kona, Kauai. The Konohiki and his men made that fish pond, and he lived there continuously until his death, and then this land passed to Debora Haakulou, together with that fish pond. Haakulou lived there, and before the death of Kahikioewa /sic/, together with this lo`i, Haakulou was dispossessed and it was transferred to Kailinaoa, the Konohiki, together with this lo`i, until her death, when it passed to Kahikioewa /sic/, and the land went to Keaweamahi as Konohiki, with Kekua as her man in charge, and this continued until 1842. In this year, it was really returned to me by Kekua, the cousin of Kapuniai, the Konohiki. Kapahoaulu, the wife of Kekua, is my witness, who heard it being returned. In the year 1846 it was taken by Kapuniai, until this time.
Kapahoaulu (F), sworn: I did not hear of the giving and the returning of this fish pond to Pawale by Kekua. We two /Kekua and herself/ had this fish pond and we appointed Kailaa to be under us. In my opinion the taking of it by Kapuniai was proper; it was not wrong.
