Third Parties

A term used to include all persons who are not parties to the contract, agreement, or instrument of writing by which their interest in the thing conveyed is sought to be affected.

1 Mart. (La.; N. S.) 884. See, also, 2 La. 425; 6 Mart. (La.) 528.

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.
