Magistrate of past and of future events (5)

I believe the answer is:

reeve

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'magistrate of past' is the definition.
'reeve' can be an answer for 'magistrate' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'of past' bit.

'of future events' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'REEVE' can be found hidden inside 'future events'.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reeve that I've seen before include "One of Chaucer's tale-tellers" , "magistrate of long ago" , "Former shire official" , "Anglo-Saxon magistrate - female bird - pass (a rope) through a hole" , "Female ruff - Canterbury tale-teller" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
