  Praetor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
The first praetor specially so called was appointed in the year 356 BC, and he was chosen only from the Patricians, who had this new office created as a kind of indemnification to themselves for being compelled to share the consulship with the Plebeians.
In the year 246 BC another Praetor was appointed, whose business was to administer justice in matters in dispute between, or peregrini and Roman citizens; and accordingly he was called Praetor Peregrinus.
Sometimes, extraordinary duties were imposed on them, as in the case of the Praetor Peregrinus (144 BC) who was commissioned by a Senatus consultum to look after the repair of certain aqueducts and to prevent the improper use of the water.
