No. 5287, Kahauolupua
N.R. 262v6
To the Land Commissioners, Greetings: I hereby petition you for my claim. It is in the 'Ili called Oa in Wailuku, Maui.
In 1837 I received that land from Kailihiwi, /and held it/ until 1843, when Wailuku went to the control of Namakaeha. My occupancy of Owa continued undisputed.
In 1847, in the month of July, 19th day, I joined together with some people to cultivate sugar cane above Owa at Lupeloi. We began the work and the sum of $7.75 was paid to the workmen. In the month of August, it was disputed by Namakaeha, and by agreement of the Legislature, the tenants were enabled to cultivate in a separate place of the land.
I am, respectfully,
I. KAHAUOLOPUA

No. 5287, Kahauolopua, July 12, 1848
Z. Kaauwai, sworn, I know his land in Wailuku, two parcels.
Parcel 1. Taro kula.
Parcel 2. Kula planted in sugar cane.
These two parcels were from Kailihiwa in 1837. It was opposed by Namakeha in 1847, by an error in judgement; there is no reason for this opposition, it is confused. This is "acre" land, but had been given before it was measured into acreage. There are seven hakuone in the first parcel, however they are dry because of this opposition.
Parcel 1 is bounded:
Mauka by my land
Waihee by the new Government road
Makai by the Government lot
Maalaea by 'Ili of Kalua and the lot of Kaili.
Parcel 2 is bounded:
Mauka by the land of Kahauolopua
Waihee by the stone house of Auwae
Makai by the 'ili of Papohaku and the land of Naea
Maalaea by the Road and the Government lot.
Keahe, sworn, I know that this is Kahauolopua's own claim, the statement of Z. Kaauwai is true.
I. Napela, sworn, I know this is his claim from formerly; the testimony of Z. Kaauwai is true. I confirm it, as Keahi has.
