Magistracy
Mun. law. In its most enlarged signification, this term includes all officers, legislative, executive, and judicial.

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.

Administration
