.... the salt pit of Kuaana.

No. 6 is bounded:
Mauka by the upland of Kuaia
Koolauloa by a hill called Kooleakauwe
Makai by a hill called Kooleakauwe
Kailua by upland of Nakahuna.

Nos 1, 2, & 3 were given claimant by Kuaia in 1834; No. 4 by Panalaau in 1846; No. 5 by Kaakau in 1837; No. 6 by Kekai in 1843.

No one has disputed claimant's right to any of the above lands till the present mounth (March 1850) when the new konohiki too the one kalo patch (No. 4) from the occupant. The konohiki's plea for taking it is that it was long ago a poalima. Witness says it never was a poalima.

Kuaia testifies to the truth of the above. He is an old inhabitant and says the kalo patch taken by the new konohiki has not been a poalima.
