What country? What time period?

Without further specification, we cannot answer this question accurately. "Were" can be interpreted in many ways.

What I can account for is that, currently, in the United States, the powers of a Magistrate are limited. A Magistrate in the U.S is similar to a judge; however, the magistrate does not have the power to convict or hold a standard trial.

The reasoning behind this is that a traditional judge is required to possess a Juris Doctorate, and have a high understanding of law, while a magistrate can be an ordinary citizen.

Is a Hereditary monarch the head of state with limited powers?

A monarch with limited powers is something separate from hereditary monarchy. A hereditary monarch is a system of governance where a person inherits the kingdom from someone in his family. A monarch with limited powers is a system of governance where the monarch can only do certain types of activities because others are prohibited by law. You can have a hereditary monarchy with unlimited powers, like Saudi Arabia. You can have a hereditary monarchy with limited powers, like Spain. You can have a non-hereditary monarchy with unlimited powers, like some previous African Kingdoms (the King was an appointed position). You can have a non-hereditary monarchy with limited powers, but this is only theoretical as there has never been such a monarchy in history.
