What are Negotiable Instruments?

An instrument could not be negotiable unless such and in such a state that the true owner could transfer the contract or engagement contained by simply delivering the instrument. According to the definition, it is "an instrument, the property in which is acquired by anyone who takes it bona fide, and for value, notwithstanding any defect of title in the person from whom he took it."
