When Manuel saw this, he called out to Keakaku, "Keakaku' don't till the land, I have[n't] released you, if you insist, I will hurt you. Keauhee, you watch if he continues to work". Keakaku went home. Later Manuel took all of the five patches Keakaku's father had cultivated. After he had eaten all of the yield, he asked Keakaku to work. This he did for the konohiki but there was no food or land for him, however he continued to work on konohiki days until Manuel had sold the ili land, Pualehua, to a foreigner. It was clearly understood and many witnessess have known the truth about his (Keakaku) interest and that he had always worked on konohiki days from the time his father had died to the time the ili land was sold. Opunui has commented that Kamanoha had returned this land to Manuel, that is not so. Kamanoha bequested his land to his own son Keakaku. He was not fined $10.00 for deserting the land but for the konohiki's greed and for seizing his (Keakaku) property without provacation.
Keakaku has never refused Manuel's constant demands for konohiki detail, in the
least, he has always obliged kindly.
