Bouvier's Law Dictionary and Concise Encyclopedia

Any person other than one of the parties to the contract or his representatives.

Pollock, Contr. 209.

But it is difficult to give a very definite idea of third persons; for sometimes those who are not parties to the contract, but who represent the rights of the original parties, as executors, are not to be considered third persons.

See 1 Bouvier, Inst n. 1335.
