Kalahohina, sworn, he has seen this land, he also had heard about it when Kaiuikokoole had it at the time of Kamehameha I. It is a koele and he with his cousins have always lived there, but it was Manu only who worked there, until his death in 1847. Kalalaohani was his wife and her children had it until her death in 1848. Kaholowaa has had it to the present time.
Kahue, sworn, Manu had this land at first, Kaui had it upon Manu's death, then Kaholowaa has it to the present. Witness says he has never seen Konohiki work on this lot to the present. No problem for section 2.
DECISION: Konohiki has no claim. Kaui is right for this loi. See page 58.
