Mauka by Paaiki's land
Napali by Konohiki's land
Makai by Kahuna's land
Koolau by Kaipulehua, a land.

House site from Kalakala's parents and there are orange trees there at present. Although Kalakala's parents had left this place some time ago the land is still theirs since the time of Kaahumanu. Therefore, the witness feels the oranges are for Kalakala. The taro lois had been from the Konohiki in 1839, no disputes to the present time.

Kalowakea, sworn, he has seen Kalakala's land in the same way as Kawainui has related here.
