ALCALDE (from the Arab. al-quadi, the " Cadi " or judge ")

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 517 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AJA-ALL
ALCALDE (from the Arab. al-quadi, the " Cadi " or judge ") , the title in Spanish for officials of somewhat varied functions, in which, however, there is always a judicial
element
 . Alcalde de corte was a judge of the palace
court
 , having
jurisdiction
  in and about the residence of the king. But the
mayor
  of a town or
village
  who discharged the functions of a
justice
  of the peace was also an alcalde. It is in this sense that the title is now exclusively used. He is subject to yearly election and the post has often been an undesirable one in Spain. The title of alcalde must be carefully distinguished from alcaide, which is derived from the Arabic al-qudid, a general, and means' the
governor
  of a fortress.
