Kuakamauna [konohiki for] and Hoapili ma, they two gave it to me. I have not stopped believing Kumimi [is mine], as I was not judged in court. Kekauluohi treated me like a pig-stealer. Return to me my kuleana and end the matter. "My half of Pueopaku in Hilo. The King's half was divided off by Piikoi, and mine is for you to confirm my kuleana therein.

Kahikona long refused to part with it because of the King's giving it to him. Auhea [Kekauluohi] gave it to Kiwini [a.k.a. John Stevenson, K/A 11029]. Kahikona denied it to him saying the King had given it to him. Then he was put in irons--without fault." FT 113.7 Kaua [K/A], sworn: I know the land of the Clt. called "Kumimi" on Molokai. It is an Ahupuaa. He reed. it from Hoapiliwahine in the year 1827 and held it up to the year 1840 in peace, when Kekauluohi drove him from it, becausehe said he had not reed. his possessionfrom Kekauluohi. This was like denying that great chief. Upon this she sent 133 her man to drive him from the land. He went to the King, and he told him to remain on his land. He did so, but Kekauluohi pursued him and threw him into prison and kept him in irons because he denied her. At last at the entreaty of Mr. Richards he was let out of prison but his land was never restored. It was given to John Stevens [Stevenson] who has held it to this day. Kekauluohi was the Premier, and prevailed over the King, he being young. Mumuku, sworn: The CIL had this land from Hoapili in 1827 and held it in peace until 1840. Pikanele, sworn: I know the land of Kumimi on Molokai belonged to the King. He gave it to his sister Nahienaena. She gave it to Hoapili and Hoapiiwahine and she gave this Ahupuaa to the CIL and he held it in peace until 1840 when he was turned off by Kekauluohi becauseshe was Premier. He went to the King, and he said "You ared [sic. erred?]--I am not dispossessed hemo-ed from this land." Kahikona then held on[to] it still. John Stevens[Stevenson] then went to him and told him to be off. Kahikona said I will not go. Kekauluohi then sent to Elai [Ilae Napohaku] the Luna Auhau to turn him off. Kahikona said "I did not have my land from Kekauluohi but from the King." IIae then sent his men, and brought him and thrust him into Prison where he was kept 40 days when Mr. Richards interceded for his releaseand succeeded.

Kekauonohi had given this to him after the death of Kalaimoku on Hawaii [8 February 1827]. It has been enclosed with a fence with two houses on the inside, one of which is not thatched with pili. NO.one has objected to him. The chief [King] had given it to Kekauonohi and Kahikona lives there now. There are three lots there, two at Waianae and one at Puako which is the third one. I have seen Kahikona fence the property which was a short fence. When Haehae returned Kahikona was putting up the fence and he said, "The fence is short, isn't it." "The people for this lot have not been found," he replied. Then the konohiki said, "Do complete your work." He has lived and cultivated there to this day, no one has objected to him. After the death of Keopuolani [16 September 1823] he then acquired the land. Haehae was the konohiki of Waianae at that time and that is all I have known.
