.... e. Since that time to just 1844 last, Kekauonohi took all of this place for Kekauonohi (himself) without Laanui's approval. There are eye-witnesses, Kaluahinenui and Waiakea.
These properties are for Kuhia and Kekuanaoa.
With love, John Ii

No. 278, Laanui, January 31 [1848?], from page 59
John Ii, sworn by the Bible and stated, "I have seen this place; it is in Honolulu here;
Puowaina street, Waikiki
Kanaina's property, toward the sea
Kanaina's lot and Honokaupu's lot, Ewa
Keliiahonui's lot and Mr. French's lot are on the mountain side.
I had seen this property in the year 1826 and Laanui has lived there to the present time. Kanoa and I are living there also under Laanui. Kanoa has four houses.
2) I have seen another property,
Puowaina street is on the Ewa side
A small street from Lokeke's place, toward the mountain
Hana Haalilio's lot, Waikiki
Another lot for Hana and Keolewa's lot is on the oceanside.
This was received the same time as property No. 1. It was idle land and Laanui lived there. Kekauonohi has been objecting and this was in the year 1844 and we (two) have contested him for this property.
Kanoa, sworn by the Word of God and stated, My testimony on these two lots and everything about them is the same as the one just given here by John Ii, including the boundaries, the number of years and how they were obtained.
