.... refore, he had asked Koma to work and develop the land with the help of prisoners, also Konohiki labor. Later in 1840 the lois was given to Samuela by Kamakahelu and after the land was fully cultivated and taro was growing well, it was revealed that Kamoku was the heir of Kekipi and that the land was for him [her].
Kaohikakpu, sworn, he has been Kamoku's witness originally and it was he who had reported there was no objections on that claim. He now relates the reason had not been announced that the land was for Kamoku. Kamoku was skeptical about working on the land and was unconcerned about it. This had made Kaohikapu feel that the Konohiki had taken that loi until the deed arrived and it was learned that Kekipi had bequested land and other things to Kamoku, his daughter.
After the deed was received, Kaohikapu believes the claim was given to Kamoku without any objections from Samuela, the Konohiki and his group.
Kuawiliwili, sworn, I visited him before they had become insane and he said to me, "the land, the house and animals shall be for Kamoku." This was his bequest, she (Kamoku) was to be his heir at the time of his death. Later Kuawiliwili saw work being done on the land and he surmised that the Konohiki, Kamakahelu had taken the place; therefore, he kept quiet and testified there was no problem.
Samuela appeared before us and related that he no objections except that he wanted the house lot, pasture and loi. (from page 225).
