.... there at this time. I do not know the reason for the objections by Poepoe.
Poepoe (Wahine), sworn, My knowledge is the same as the foregoing testimony.
Hanakaipo, sworn (for Poepoe), I know his parcel of land at "Halakaa", Lahaina, Maui.
It is bounded as follows:
Mauka by land of Kapu
Kaanapali by land of Kapu and Paikaualani and Waimanalo
Makai by land of Keawekane
Olowalu by my land.
He received this parcel from Kauliokamoa, so I heard, however I do not recall the time it was given. I have never seen Kaiwikokoole working at this place until this time. I saw Kawaa's occupancy there. It was Poepoe who sent for him to return there to live and he built the house and cultivated the land from 1851.
Lahaina, November 26, 1853
Kanawaliwali, sworn (for Poepoe), I know this place which is disputed between Kaiwikokoole and Poepoe. It is at Halakaa, Lahaina, Maui and is a kula lot. My knowledge of the boundaries is as Hanakaipo has stated.
He received this parcel from Kauliokamoa in 1837. This was the time when the body of Nahienaena was returned here to Lahaina. I do not know the basis of Kaiwikokoole's claim at this place. I saw the house of Kawaa standing there, his occupancy of it was from Poepoe.
Nakaikuaana, sworn, In 1837 when the body of Nahienaena was returned to Maui, I saw Poepoe living at this place. This place was bartered between Kauliokamoa and Poepoe. Poepoe had a house lot makai, which was conveyed to Kauliokamoa, and Kauliokamoa gave this place to Poepoe, and he occupies it until this time. I do not understand Kaiwikokoole's claim, he has another place, and Kawaa's occupancy was because of Poepoe, but /sic/, I am the own kaikua`ana of the wife of Poepoe.
Manamana, sworn (for Kaiwikokoole), I know this place of Kaiwikokoole, it was perhaps 1837 /when/ Kauliokamoa himself gave it to Kawaihae, he was the luna of the land of Kauliokamoa, and Kawaihae gave it to Kaiwikokoole. I lived there and planted gourds, under Kaiwikokoole. However, the lot at the seashore was Poepoe's own. Poepoe began to build a house, and because of the friendship of Kauliokamoa, a house site only was given, not a place to cultivate. Kawaa's occupancy was under Kaiwikokoole, not under Poepoe, that is my knowledge of it. The fence which was made was a new one, in 1851.
