MAGISTRACY
(bouvier) | MAGISTRACY, mun. law. In its most enlarged signification, this term includes
all officers, legislative, executive, and judicial. For example, in most of
the state constitutions will be found this provision; "the powers of the
government are divided into three distinct departments, and each of these is
confided to a separate magistracy, to wit: those which are legislative, to
one; those which are executive, to another; and those which are judiciary,
to another." In a more confined sense, it signifies the body of officers
whose duty it is to put the laws in force; as, judges, justices of the
peace, and the like. In a still narrower sense it is employed to designate
the body of justices of peace. It is also used for the office of a
magistrate.
