The above (below) document was placed in my hand to forward to the Board of Land Commissioners, 18 January 1848. J.G. Munn.
No. 1.

N.T. 679v3
No. 3204, Peke /Martin Beck/, October 12, 1850
J. Ii, sworn, I have seen his place in Honolulu here; it is a house lot. He is demanding for this place and this is the way he had acquired it. He had first lived with the senior Pahiula and Aikanaka on their place at the time the chiefs had come here from Hawaii /that was the year 1822/. He was then placed on the island of Keokoi. Later, he asked Haalilio for a place and he /Haalilio/ did find it and gave him this place in 1841, where he has lived to the present time. No one has objected. He had asked for this place because young Puhiula had driven him away.
The boundaries of that lot are:
Mauka, J. Booth's lot
Waikiki, S. Thompson's lot and the street
Makai, C. H. Nicholson's lot
Ewa, Wm. Har-bottle's lot.
