Engl. law, is to deprive a person of the privilege of suing in forma pauperis & (q- 2) When a she hae been that the party has become the owner of a sufficient estate real or personal, or has been guilty of some wrong, he may be dispaupered. - TO DISPONE, Scotch law. This ts a technical word, which implies, it is said, a transfer of feudal property by a particular deed, and is not equivalent to the term ulienate; but Lord Eldon says, “ with respect to the word dispone, if I collect the opinions of the majority of the judges rightly, I am of opinion that the word dispone, would have the same effect as the word alienate.” (q. v.) Sanford on Entails, 179, note.
