.... not hear Kaumu say he did not write a claim for himself - Kaumu was a newcomer here, and this mo'o was truly for the Konohiki.

Ilae, sworn (for Konohiki): I know this place. When Napunako, the konohiki, was dispossessed, in 1849 or 1849 perhaps, the konohikiship of Kumueli passed to me, and I heard this mo'o was for the -Konohiki, and I also heard that Kaumu had entered a claim. At this time Kaumu left the land and conveyed it absolutely to me, there-fore I took it and established a new man, and from the time I took it, and afterwards, I did not hear that Kaumu had again gotten this land.

Kaimuino, sworn, I know Kaumu was living here at the time of the arrival of the British steamship, in 1846 or 1847 perhaps; this was when Pupuka had this land, and all the people were cultivating, land at this place. Pupuka gave a portion of this place to Kekua, and Palama, the one who had Kawailoawa, was his friend who came here. When Pupuka died it passed to Napunako and this land passed with it and he gave it to Kaumu, this was 1847 or 1848 perhaps. I heard that Kaumu entered a claim, and from the time he received it he cultivated it and worked on this land until the time the land passed to Ilae, together with this mo'o. Ilae was dispossessed and it passed to Kanahele, and I was the man who cultivated this land until 1852, when Kaumu returned for the first time.

Postponed for decision by the Land Commissioners.
