Boundary of the Ahupuaa of Kalaheo
No. 8
Received the following petition
Honolulu, July 8th, 1873
Honorable D. McBryde, Wahiawa, Kauai
My Dear Sir,
I have this day made application to you to settle all the boundaries of the crown lands on the Island of Kauai that had not previously been defined also the ili of Eleele belonging to Estate of M. Kekuanaoa and the Ahupuaa of Lawai belonging to Hikoni

Said survey was found to be correct, not only by the evidence of the several natives; Kanupaka, Naoa & others, but by taking them on to the land and pointing out the different marks, and stations and from said evidence in court and on the ground the following decision was rendered.
Decision, 18th August 1873
