Parish Magistrates / Regedores de Paróquia

Parish magistrates have existed in Madeira since 1838, and on November 16 of that year, the City Council sent the administrator of the municipality the proposals of individuals who should hold the position of magistrate in the parishes of the municipality. Before the magistrates, there were parish commissioners appointed in 1834.
