Cl. 8515, Apana 3rd Keoni Ana for Alapai & 10613, Apana 9 Paki. No. 10613, A. Paki
Counter
Kauanui, sworn for Paki, I know the land of Paki claimed by him in Kaliu lalo, Honolulu. It is in one piece & consists of 4 lois.
Bounded:
Maua by the Fort land known as Kapahuluhlulu
Waititi by Robert Kilday lot
Makai by Keone Ana's land & Ewa also.
Paki had this land from Keawehuole, former konohiki of this land in 1834 & has held it in peace ever since. There was a dispute between Paki and the konohiki in 1848 and the qustion of ownership has been an open one ever since.
Cross-examined by Mr. Young. Paki is the only person who has had a title to this land for many years. From time of Kinau & before.
Kuuku, sworn, says I am a kamaaina on Kaliu. I know the place in dispute. It is in dispute in quantity, not in title. It was always admitted that Paki had some title, but the question is, how much land does it cover?
The Parties agreed to go on the ground together with Kekaulakao and settle the bounds and the claim of Paki accordingly.

.... er I've seen, only now I see there is a dispute over these boundaries.
Kaukapawa, sworn, Kaae is the boundary makai, then it runs this way to Hanaimaa, then to Kainamanu and on until Puuiki to Kapalikalahale. I had heard from my parents. I have lived there since the time of Kaeo and I am a true native for this land.
Hinakahee is a celebrated place and the true boundary on the makai side is "Kaeo" or Kapaenui. I have heard from my parents that the boundary of Haena which is Kanakahee was given for Wainiha.
A dispute over the boundary between Lumahai and Waikoko
Kekela, sworn, I have seen the boundary between Lumahai and Waikoko. "Kahalahala" is the boundary along the beach separating Lumahai and Waikoko and from there it runs to the top of the Ka manu peak.
I have know this boundary since the time of Kaumualii to the present day.
N.T. 454v10
[No. 10613]
DECISION: The statements of the witnesses for the dispute between M. Kekauonohi (for L. Haalelea) and A. Paki over the boundary between Wainiha and Haena on the island of Kauai have been examined. There are hearsay reports only, therefore there is obscurity, there her is an assurance. The disputed land shall be divided by splitting the two sections into thirds, that is by having Haena's large area on the makai and small on the mauka directions; Wainiha shall be large on the mauka and small on the makai and this should be the fair boundary in order to end the dispute.
DECISION: According to the statements of the witnesses for the dispute between M. Kekauonohi (for L. Haalelea) and Konia for the boundary between Wainiha and Lumahai, living and taxed of the tenants there have been for the lunas of Wainiha till the present time; therefore, that boundary has come to be for Wainiha and not for Lumahai at all.
DECISION: The boundary which separates Lumahai, land of Konia and Waikoko land of Kekauonohi (No. L. Haalelea) is the place close to the beach called "Kahalahala."
