- Per extraneam personam nihil nobis acquiri potest
- Through a stranger we can acquire no rights. Although this maxim of the Roman law is not in form found in our law, yet its principle is at the foundation of all our rules as to the privity of contract and estate, and as to matters inter alios acta. Kyle v Wells, 17 Pa 286.
