In Scotch law, a miller's tolls. Multure is a quantity of grain payable to the proprietor of the mill by every person who comes to the mill to have his corn ground. The tenants and proprietors of some lands are bound by their tenure to use a particular mill; and these lands, so bound or restricted to the mill, are termed the thirl or the sucken, and the tenants or proprietors the insucken multurers; while those who use the mill without being bound to use it are called the out-town or outsucken multurers. And the payments of the former are called insucken multures, and those of the latter outsucken multures.
