.... his wife Ulupua and her young sister Kaui and Keaniani was desirous of that woman so he asked me for a small parcel of land and he has been there to this time. I think it was in 1836 that this land was given. It was I who made comparison in words between them. Manuel asks Keaniani to but Keaniani refuses and says there is no sale. Keaniani argues that they are both married to sisters and because of this relationship therefore he says you give me what you desire to do so and I would give you what I choose to give you.

Question:What is the name of Puiwa's place? When was it given?
Answer:Four years perhaps.

Answer:Quite a large pasture land, and we have worked together with Hoohiliamanu by her word that the land would not be given to Manuel if he would live under my control. This was good and agreed amona us.

Answer:Uanuel did.
Question:How much was it on his place?
