MULLIER, in Law, signifies the lawful issue born in wedlock, though begotten before. The Mullier is preferred to an older brother born out of matrimony; as for instance, if a man has a son by a woman before marriage, which issue is bastard, and afterwards marries the mother of the bastard, and they have another son, this second son is Mullier and lawful, and shall be heir of the father; but the other can be heir to no person*. By the civil law, where a man has issue by Mullingar, a woman, if after that he marries her, the issue is Mullier.
