Notes: With: Appendix to the second supplement to the investigation at the palace in 1845, on the subject of Mr. Charlton's land claim : being a reply to what was published in the Sandwich Islands news, nos. 26 and 27, of 24th February and 3d March, 1847, in the name of Robert Cheshire Janion, Esquire, on behalf of those against whom he insinuates charges of perjury and subornation of perjury, refuting those charges, showing that his extracts from the Missionary Herald are unfair, garbled and deceptive and proving clearly that Kaahumanu was always the superior of Karaimoku, that neither Karaimoku nor Loki ever were regents of these islands, that the functions of regent belonged to and were exercised by Kaahumanu, and that neither Karaimoku nor Boki, nor any other chief, ever held powers by their own authority, to grant away any lands whatever, far less to grant to third parties the lands belonging to other chiefs, and more especially those of the guardian of the kingdom and the supreme directing chief, Kaahumanu.
