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.
