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.

For example, if people in a particular area have been grinding their corn at a certain mill for a long time, and one of them decides to go to another mill, the owner of the original mill can use a writ de secta ad molendinum to force that person to continue grinding their corn at the original mill or provide a good reason why they should not.
