In most legislative bodies, including Congress a conference committee occurs when each house has passed their version of a particular bill. The committee of conference is conv â¦ ened to come up with a compromise that both houses can agree on and approve.
Manor house A manor house is a country house that historically formed the administrative centre of a manor, the lowest unit of territorial organisation in the feudal system in Europe. The term is applied to country houses that belonged to the gentry and other grand stately homes.
It formed the administrative centre of a manor and within its great hall were held the lord's manorial courts, communal meals with manorial tenants and great banquets. The term is today loosely applied to smaller country houses, frequently dating from the late medieval era, which formerly housed the gentry.
