Signed, John White

No. 364, John White, August 21, from page 204

Kekauonohi, sworn and stated, "I have seen J. White's land at Lahaina in Maui but it is not identical with the reports given by the first witnesses. It was not given during the time of Kamehameha I. I had given him his land at the time of Kamehameha III. That was the same time J. White was living with me and it was I who gave him land, the same land for which Kalaipaihala is contending with J. White. This land had become J. White's land when I had given it to him in the year 1831.
