Strangers

By this term is intended third persons generally. Thus the persons bound by a fine are parties, privies, and strangers; the parties are either the cogni-zors or cognizees; the privies are snch as are in any way related to those who levy the fine, and claim under them by any right of blood or other right of representation; the strangers are all other persons in the world, except only the parties and privies. In its general legal signification the term is opposed to the word "privy." Those who are in no way parties to a covenant, nor bound by it, are also said to be strangers ,to the covenant. Brown.
