- Administrative/biographical history:
- Magistrates in Galicia were typically established upon the granting of Magdeburg Rights to urban settlements beginning in the 16th c. When Galicia came under Habsburg rule, the magistrate of Stryj and other cities, aside from managing the urban economy, performed the functions of courts of first instance in administrative cases involving townspeople. In the first half of the 19th c., the magistrates consisted of a syndic (judicial officer), jurymen (usually three), a secretary, a forester, a midwife, a police overseer, a court bailiff, police guards, and a warden. In the 1850s, the judicial powers of magistrates were gradually transferred to the newly established district courts. They continued to operate during the period of the Polish Republic (1918-39), and in 1936 were renamed city councils.
