A claim for a house lot. I, Mika Hala Kaoo, hereby state my house lot claim in Lahaina. One right to a house lot was from Hoapili. Another interest within this lot was from Kekauluohi.

Kekauluohi then gave Papa the land which was required by Kaoo. Kapena heard Kekauluohi say that 3 fathoms of Kinaus land be given to Kaoo, but Kinau refused to give up her place which Kekauluohi had given to Kaoo. Kekauluohis wish to reimburse Kaoo for his labors was not fulfilled.
Makaulia, sworn, When Hoapili had sent for me to have a consultation with him, he said to give that property for Kaoo and I had agreed to do as he wanted me to do. When this talk with the chief was over and the time came to meet with Auhea, Auhea said to me:
Auhea: Increase that section for Kaoo.
Makaulia: That property mauka is for the Hawaiian.
Auhea: Give the section that could be used for planting.
Makaulia: Yes, your orders shall be done, for you are the master. That was the end of what I have known.
