# Definition of terms used in R.S. 13:3851 through 13:3860; provisions applicable to seizure of immovable property by constable or marshal

As used in R.S. 13:3851 through 13:3860: the term "recorder of mortgages" means "clerk of court and ex officio recorder of mortgages" in all parishes except Orleans; and the word "sheriff" in Orleans Parish means "civil sheriff of the parish of Orleans".

The provisions of R.S. 13:3851 through 13:3860 apply to the seizure of immovable property by a constable of a justice of the peace court, or a constable or marshal of a city court; and in such cases wherever the word "sheriff" appears therein it shall be construed to mean "constable" or "marshal", as the case may be.
