	Magistratus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Magistratus ordinarii (ordinary magistrates) and Magistrarus extraordinarii (extraordinary magistrates) were two categories of officials who held political, military, and, in some cases, religious power in the Roman Republic.
		The ordinary magistrates were elected annually (except censor) and served for one year.
		By contrast, extraordinary magistrates were elected only in special circumstances and not necessarily with a collegue.

		Unlike modern chambers, these representative bodies combined legislative, judicial, and electoral functions, as Magistrates did to - though there was no separation of powers, the intricate balance of 'constitutional' checks and divisions of powers in the Roman republic was remarkably elaborate.
		Only when the principate was established -legally withi the republic, which was never ablished- did the shift of power to the emperor, no longer a 'temporary' strong man as opposed to the dictator, start to embody the state politically, though never in law, and hence incarnate the of Rome.
		The tribal assemblies were left with the election of certain magistrates and the conduct of trials — but no trials could be held unless authorized by senatus consultum.

		His first impulse was to denounce Balsamo to the magistrates of the town; but on further reflection he was afraid of the ridicule that a full exposure of all the circumstances would draw upon him: he therefore took the truly Italian resolution of being revenged on Balsamo by murdering him at the first convenient opportunity.
		The consequence was, that the house of Cagliostro was besieged by crowds of the idle, the credulous, and the avaricious, all eager to obtain a sight of the "philosopher," or to share in the boundless wealth which he could call into existence.
		Such was the substance of his extraordinary answer to the charges against him; an answer which convinced those who were before doubtful that he was one of the most impudent impostors that had ever run the career of deception.

		A promagistrate is a person who acts in and with the authority and capacity of a magistrate, but without holding a magisterial office.
		A promagistrate held equal authority to the equivalent magistrate, was attended by the same number of lictors, and generally speaking had autocratic power within his province, be it territorial or otherwise.
		Subsequently, when Pompeius Magnus was given proconsular imperium to fight against Quintus Sertorius, the Senate made a point of distinguishing that he was not actually being appointed a promagistrate: he was appointed to act not in place of a consul (pro consule), but on behalf of the consuls (pro consulibus).

		The investigation into this little business—about where that money came from and what the director was doing with it—led into an extraordinary series of related and ever growing, ever snowballing corruption scandals that undermined the entire Italian business community and Italian industry and the Italian politicians with whom the industrialists and businessmen had been working.
		One was the discovery of this extraordinary network of large-scale corruption that had been underpinning the relations between Italian government and Italian industry, and on the other this exactly contemporaneous discovery of the extraordinarily intense relations that had been going on for 50 years between the Italian government and organised crime.
		It was this that precipitated the fall, and it was so extraordinary to meto the world, but specifically and in a very personal way to me who had been puzzled and upset and extremely intrigued by a number of things that I had followed going on in Italy in the time that I lived there.

		Tertullian challenges the heathen magistrates to work the miracles which the Christians perform (Apol., xxiii); St. Paulinus, in the life of St. Ambrose, narrates what he has seen.

		Surely, amateur lay magistrates are in no position to cope with such a work load and an increase of six in the provision of professional magistrates is nowhere near adequate.
		However, the Magistrates Association felt that, given the other changes that were taking place—especially the unification of the stipendiary benches—it was not the right time to seek an increase in the maximum number for provincial stipendiaries to 60.
		It would be extraordinary if the Government—recognising that the nature of the work load is bound to change if their proposals in this year's legislative programme are accepted by the House, which remains a matter for debate—did not acknowledge that there would have to be further changes.
