The testimony is for number four, the interest of Keoki Pele [George Pelly L for that property, that is adjacent to this place.
Komo, sworn by the Word of God and stated, I have seen that parcel of property belonging to Keoki Puki [George Bush] and where Keoki Paka (Puki) is living now. I have a parcel of land, too, of that property and S. Kamepala (Kimbole) and I jointly had a sale with Richard. I have not written my name on the bill of sale giving that property to Keoki (George Bush) Puki because I was not on this land at that time but I am now consenting to that sale to Puki (Bush). I am relinquishing permanently my interest in that property. I have not seen anyone objecting to him.
