" I he Roman magistrates were vari¬ 
ously divided ; "into ordinarii and ex- 
traordmarii the former were those 
who were created yearly or at stated 
times, as, the consuls, prstors, cen¬ 
sors, tribunes of the people, rediles, 
qu®stars, &c. ; the latter were only 
cieated on extraordinary occasions or 
emergencies, as, a dictator, a master of 
ior»e. — I he magistratus curules were 
those who had the right of using the 
sella curuhs, namely, the dictator, the 
consuls, censors, praetors, and curule 
leuues. The magistratus plebeii were 
chosen from the plebeians, the tediles 
and tribunes of the people belonged to 
iem. J he magistratus majores were 
the consuls, pnetors and censors, who 
were created at the comitia centuriata ; 
the magistratus minores were the tri¬ 
bunes of the people, the mdiles, and 
quaistors, who were created at the co¬ 
mma tributa. -IT Magistratus was 
properly, a civil magistracy in the city ; 
impenum, military command in the 
provinces; as may be gathered from 
those passages in which magistratus 
and impenum are joined, and signify 
offices civil, and military ; but this dis¬ 
tinction is not always observed ; imperi- 
um is not always opposed to magistra 
tus. (bee Imperium.) Sallust. Magistra- 
tus, et imperia minime mihi capiunda 
vtdentur. Sueton. Abstinentiam neque 
in imperiis, neque in magistratibui 
prtestitit.-if Sometimes the magis¬ 
tracies m the city are called magistra¬ 
tus, whilst potestas denotes a magistra¬ 
cy in the provinces. Sueton. Jurisdic- 
tionem in urbe delegari magistratibus 
solitam, atque etiam per provincias po- 
testatibus. Pandect. Q.ui magistratum 
potestatemve habebit-if Magistra¬ 
te very frequently signifies a person in¬ 
vested. with public authority, a magistrate, 
a public functionary. Cic. Est proprium
