I think meaning #5 is not a separate meaning from #6, it just means neighbourhood (or beat if you want to make the police context clear, as the already given Dixon example illustrates "Dixon, who was finally promoted to sergeant in 1964, policed his 'Dock Green' manor until May 1976 and 'Evening, all' had become a national catchphrase.") — This unsigned comment was added by 140.78.167.26 (talk).

The big difference between the two is that "manor" in the police sense is UK-wide, while "manor" in the general slang sense is London-specific. Smurrayinchester (talk) 17:02, 13 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
