¶HULTER CORN, n.comb. Appar. a misprint for multer corn. See Multure.Abd. 1795 Stat. Acc.1 XV. 117:
Another absurdity is, that shillen, i.e. shealing, or hulter corn, is measured by the tacksman of the mill, and is paid, not in shealing, but in meal. There are accordingly great complaints that the corn is not well shealed.
