Manor
Manor [fr. manerium, Lat.; manoir, Fr., habitation, or manendo, of abiding there, because the lord usually resided there], an estate in fee-simple in a tract of land granted by the sovereign to a subject (usually of power and consequence) in consideration of certain services to be performed. The tenementales were granted out; the dominicales (whence the ter demesne) were reserved to the lord; the barren lands which remained formed the 'wastes'; the whole fee was termed a lordship or barony; and the Court appendant to the manor the Court baron. Every manor (with some doubtful and unimportant exceptions) is of a date prior to the statute of Quia Emptores (18 Edw. 1, c. 1).'A manor,' says Mr. Joshua Williams, 'was made by the owner of an estate in fee carving out other estates in fee to be held by other freeholders as his tenants.

Dancing hall
Dancing hall, 'dancing hall' as understood in the ordinary parlance is a place where dancing floor is provided and live orchestra or music in any other form is played to entertain the guests who wish to come on the floor and dance. Dancing halls are peculiar to the Western social life. In the cosmopolitan cities in this country, even today, one finds number of dancing halls and discotheques where people go in the evenings and entertain themselves. There seems to be no difference in a 'dancing hall' and a 'restaurant' where a proper dancing floor is provided and the guests entertain themselves by using the floor to the tune of live or recorded music. Simply because the recreation in the shape of dancing is provided along with a posheating place would not make it different than a 'dancing hall' where drinks and eatables are also invariably provided, Calcutta Municipal Corporation v. East India Hotels, AIR 1995 SC 419 (423): (1994) 5 SCC 690. [Calcutta Municipal Act, 1951 (33 of 1951), s....
Steward of manor
Steward of manor, the lord's deputy, who transacts all the legal and other business connected with the estate, and takes care of the Court-rolls. The office is usually held by the lord's solicitor. The office has been deprived of much of its importance in consequence of the abolition of copyhold tenure by the (English) Law of Property Act, 1922 (see COPYHOLDS). The scale of compensation to the steward of the manor if he was appointed before the 29th June, 1922, is provided for by the 14th Sch. of the (English) Law of Property Act, 1922, and see the (English) L.P. (Amendment) Act, 1924. See also the (English) L.P. Act, 1922, and the (English) Enfranchised Land (Stewards' Fees) Regulations, S.R. & O., 1926, No. 3, as to fees payable to stewards upon extinguishment of manorial incidents and upon the compulsory production of assurance of former copyholds to him. Upon a vacancy for three months in the office and on other occasions the Lord Chancellor may upon default of the lord of the mano...
