F.T. 33v15
No. 521, Kapule, from page 18, Counter Kekualaula (523)

Puoanui, sworn, says he knows the House Lot in dispute between these parties. Kekualaula lived on the place in dispute between them from 1838 till the time of his departure for Honolulu in 1845, when he left the place to Koahou, his younger brother, who lived there for some years and still claims it, altho' he lives now for the most part in Hamakualoa. The house which now stands on the lot belongs to man by the name of Mauna, who has lived there for many years but does not own the land. The brother of Kekualaula does not dispute the right of Kapule to the mauka half of the lot.
