Manor Definition
This word is derived from the French manoir, and signifies a house, residence, or habitation. At present its meaning is more enlarged, and includes not only a dwelling house, but also lands. See Co. Litt. 58, 108; 2 RoUe, Abr. 121; Merlin, Repert, “Manoir.” See Sergeant, Land Laws Pa. 195. In English Law. A tract of land originally granted by the king to a person of rank, part of which (terrae tenementales) were given by the grantee or lord of the manor to his followers; the rest he retained, under the name of his demesnes (terrae dominieales). That which remained uncultivated was called the “lord’s waste,” and served for public roads, and commons of pasture for the lord and his tenants. The whole fee was called a “lordship,” or “barony,” and the court appendant to the manor the “court baron.” The tenants, in respect to their relation to this court and to each other, were called pares curiae; in relation to the tenure of their lands, copyholder (q. v.), as holding by a copy of the record in the lord’s court. The franchise of a manor, i. e., the right to jurisdiction and rents and services of copyholders. Cowell. No new manors were created in England after the prohibition of subinfeudation by St. Quia Emptores, in 1290. 1 Washb. Real Prop. 30. In American Law. A manor was formerly a tract held of a properieto ; by a fee-farm rent in money or in kind, and descending to oldest son of proprietor, who in New York was called a “patroon.” “Manor” is derived originally either from Latin manendo, remaining, or from British maer, stones, being the place marked out or inclosed by stones. Webster.
