have well considered all the allegations and
proofs in this case, and do not doubt that all nee
essary formulas were complied with at and be-
fore the sale; it seems to the evident that the ad-
minislrator offered and was understood to offer
all the right title and interest of the deceased in,
and TO the lots IN Papohaku, desert bed in Royal
patent 553l, and that the cry that they were IN
der lease to this defendant was meant and under
stood to mean as a warning of the lease, so that
the buyer might be apprised that he could not
have immediate possession of them, aud certainly
such an announcement could work no wrong to
this defendant
At the trial, asked several times whether the
defendant was not in the possession of the Apa.

no answer, or an answer to the effect that be did

Apauas 2, 3, and 4, so that will take it as
proved by the defendant that he had only poss-
ession of Apaua Sin Pupohaku, and on the as
sumption that he had only that Apans and that
