PROBATE A60 (2nd CC 1874). Will of S. Kanae shows Kiokapu at Waikiki and Aupokopoko at Lahaina,besides a land from Kanaina--Kapoino at Waiehu, Maui--and variousarticles. Devised property to Kekaula, his wife at the time of his death,and says that everything was to go to her, unless she does wrong (i hewaoia), in which case his estate was to go to his little daughter [unnamed]and his son Kumalaa.Witnesses: H. Kuihelani and A. Kaunui. Sept. 26, 1848.

Decided in court proceedings that the daughter above was Lanikeha, wifeof Landford. Court awarded to the heirs of Kumalaa, k., and Lanikeha, w.,in 1875. Appealed by Keapo, w. and husband [7] Manukeokeo, but no paperson file of their argument.

Circuit Court upholds decision, saying, "We are of the opinion thatalthough the will was made at the time when there was no land tenure exceptat the will and caprice of the chief and it is inapplicable to the presentorder of things, yet it means something:

.. And if it left the land to Kekaula the widow of the decedent, till shewas hewa, and there is no proof that she was hewa and so could be disposedby the chief [sic; king], she was to use and enjoy it so long as she livedas in fact she did. The claim that it was an absolute devise to her andher heirs is inconsistent with the naming of other heirs in the will."

Judgement of the Circuit Judge confirmed. Wailuku, June 8, 1875.
