.... y C. Kanaina's half interest, then all of it should be for Ninia.
Pelupelu, sworn, I have seen that place over which there is a dispute between C. Kanaina and Ninia. Mrs. Hoapili gave this place to Puhipuhi, the wife of Makaulia before she (Mrs. Hoapili) died. 'It was a place for them to live under her and they did live there peacefully. I had not heard in the least that it was given to Naahelu, the wife of Ninia because I had always lived with Mrs. Hoapili until she died. Ninia and relatives lived close to the Hoapilis to enable them to have their meals with them and this was protection only for them, he did not get the ground (land). When M. Kekauluohi died, C. Kanaina opposed as an heir of M. Kekauluohi. Ninia did not get the ground, this is for the heirs of Mrs. Hoapili.
Ninia (Question): Did you always live with Hoapili?
Pelupelu (Answer): Yes, I have always lived with him and was with him at the time of his death, but I had not heard that he had given to you both permanently, but it was protection that you would have. M. Kekauluohi had placed you there and she let you build a house, but the land was reserved for her heirs.
