.... Kamaka in 1848, no objections to section 2.
Section 1 was objected by the Konohiki after the death of Makaio and Pale, then there was no objections during their life time for that land and when Pale was near death, she bequested this land to her sister-in-law, Latarina. She gave (land) to her husband Kamaka and he had done farming while she was living. Three days before her death she bequested the land to the Konohiki Melieke and he took it without a given logical reason. Kamaka had kept the land in a favorable condition.
Paele, sworn, verifies Opu's statements.
Latarina, sworn, she had word from Keawe that the land was taken by Melieke so she went to Pale and asked here, "Did you again give the land to Melieke?" "No," replied Pale, "I had bequested the land to him with you as tenant under him, cause he is our present Konohiki," and this had been done before her death.
