conversed with the Minister of Public Instruction
concerning the wages / offered you, and he has
found fault with it; therefore hapaha only is your
wages. This the conversation and doing OF
the Kahukula on the 18th day of January 1852.
hkamqka answered, | am teaching In uncer-
tairty about my pay. The Minister shall hereafter
explain it. And Hooilo consented that he teach,
and leave it with the Minister to settle his wages.

suited to his qualifications such as he had declared
q the 18th.
3. His private preparation for examination, IN
order to exalt the Calvanstic teachers.
a. His refusa! to Kamaka's being examined on
all the studies which he knew, as he had promised
on the 18th day.
5. His turning into religious exercise the dn-
ties which the Minister had delegated to him, by
his vomiting forth before all the people his bias
phemies upon the catholic faith. at is clear to
me that the French party is bad"
6. His endeavoring TO extinguish the catholic
schools by his proclaiming the two catholic teach
ers to be ignorant, and dismssng them.
z. His declaring, to himself alone is delegated
the authority of the Minister, which is equally
shared by Kalama, that he may assist his friend
Hoollo.
The onesided declaration and bad conduct of
Kamaibelitane is very clear to me.
And here further testify concerning kamal
belane turning his court rooms, and his otflce OF
Judge into praying office. That wickedness OF
his is notorious here in Mookal. He has been ac-
cused to the King and the Ministers. And there
are other faults which have seen and am ready to
declare when asked, such as his words to Lima
about Hooilo, his doings in the year lS4| at the
catholic church in Kumueh.
1t is passing strange that Mr.. armstrong should
sustain the cause of the Kahukula from the repre-
sentations of Kamaibelitane, and pay no regard
to the appeals and testimony of others concernl1,
the bad conduct of his Lunanana, Commissioner
JOANE MARIA.
CoPY-TRANsLATIoN.
Honolulu, April 10th, 1852
To P. Kamaka,
Salutations Il am directed by the Minister of
Public instruction to make known to you that he
has received your letters of the I'd and 14th instant
concerning the conduct of Kamapelekane and ka-
lama on Molokai in your case. Here is his reply
to you concerning that complaint, the same as ne
stated to you before.
All the documents have been laid before the
Kings Privy Council according to law, and you are
aware of the declsion;- there is therefore nothing
more to be said in regard to that matter; but all
the documents in relation to this difficulty have
been handed to committee of the Legislature.
The Minister thinks that the cause of this dis
satisfaction on your part is that you have made
matter pertaining entirely to schools, matter OF
religion. while they are entirely distinct. The
care of the schools is work of the government
If you are not satisfied with the wages offered, you
can leave off teaching, and the government will
seek some one else to do its work.
IF you wish to converse with the Minister you
can do so, as he informed me.
Salutations to you, ]. w. MAkALENA.
Clerk.
