^{page 23 note [k]} Mr. Pennant has engraved the manner of working the quern or handmill stones in the Hebrides. “This method, he observes, is very tedious, for it employs two pair of hands four hours to grind only a single bushel of corn. The landlord can oblige his tenants, as in England, to make use of the more expeditious method of grinding by watermills, and empowers his millar to search out and break any querns he can find as machines that defraud him of the toll. Many centuries ago the legislature endeavoured to discourage these aukward mills, so prejudicial to the landlords who had been at the expence of others. In 1284, in the time of Alexander III. it was provided that “na man sall presume to grind quheit, maishlock or rye in hand mylne except he be compelled by storme or be in lack of mills quhilk soulde grinde the samen. And in this case gif a man grindes at hand mylnes he sall gif the threttein measure as multure, gif anie man contraveins this our prohibition he sall tine his hand mylnesperpetuallie.” The quern or bra is made in some of the countries of the mainland, and costs about fourteen shillings.” Voyage to the Hebrides 281. 286. pl. XXXIV.
