.... nd and Kaaupuiki was his brother-in-law. Kulauka asked Kaapuiki for lumber and built a house but the enclosure was not completed. Kaapuiki started to work on it but did not finish it without Liliha's help. Kaaupuiki was responsible for the place whereon C.G. Hopkins slaughter house stands now. Upon Kulauka's death, Liliha was heir with Kaaupuiki's sister under her and the king above them. When Liliha died her bequest was for Kaaupuiki's sister under her and the king above them. When Liliha died her bequest was for Kaaupuiki's sister under the king. There was no objections when his sister married Kaaiawaawa and when Kaaiawaawa died, Kaaupuiki became the sole heir. I believe the king is Liliha's heir.
Kaapuiki had built the fence and the house Liliha lived under Kaapuiki until her death, but Liliha's servants did help built the fence. Kaapuiki did not live there always and he had lived in Waianae under Poko and Liliha. Kaapuiki's people from Waianae were his own relatives and he was honored in Waianae with more servants of his own who helped built the enclosure.
A. Paki, sworn, it was truly for Kulauka, he had a small place and Kaapuiki's sister lived common law with Kulauka. When Kaapuiki had come from Waianae he had no place to live so he lived there. Liliha, upon request helped to build an enclosure with the help of the tenants of Moanalua.
When Kulauka died on Maui in 1837 or 1838, probably, everything was bequested to Liliha. The king has been involved in this place since Liliha's death, her entire estate was bequested to the king.
Kaapuiki has always lived in Waianae since Kamehameha I to the present time, although I have heard that lumber, fish, taro and other things have always been brought from Waianae by Liliha, the konohiki's demands. Now Piikoi has the land. Liliha's lot which I have known about had been Kulauka's lot and the new fence which was built by Kaapuiki was for Liliha.
The boundaries are:
Mauka by Government road
Ewa by the lot in Kumauna's possession
Waikiki and Makai by a pali.
Postponed: Until 3 o'clock tomorrow, the land officers, Kaapuiki and the Chief will look at the land and decide on the distribution of it.
26 May 1853
The land officers have looked, on the date designated above at 3 o'clock, at the land over which there is a dispute between Kaapuiki and Kamehameha III and a verdict was reached as follows, Kaapuiki shall have a half of the lot and the other half shall be for the King just as it has been indicated by the surveying of S.P. Kalama.
