A quick definition of secta ad molendinum:

SECTA AD MOLENDINUM: A legal term that refers to a writ that forces a person to continue grinding corn at a particular mill or provide a good reason why they should not. This writ was used when people who were accustomed to grinding their corn at a certain mill went to another mill, causing damage and injury to the owner.

The validity of the custom could be tried in court, and if found in favor of the owner, damages could be recovered against the defendant.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Secta ad molendinum is a legal term that refers to a writ that forces a person to continue grinding corn at a particular mill or provide a good reason why the custom should not be continued.
