Notes:

From a reader:

The definitions given in our Chambers Dictionary (which has many Scots words in it) are :

DISPONE
(archaic) to set in order ; dispose; (Scots law) to make over to another ; to convey legally
INFEFTMENT
a Scots law term, used to denote the symbolical giving possession of land, which was the completion of the title.
 
(By the way, DEPONE means to testify on oath)
Hope this all now makes it clearer.
