negotiable. that which is capable of being transferred by assignment; a 
thing, the title to which may be transferred by a sale and indorsement or 
delivery. 
     2. a chose in action was not assignable at common law, and therefore 
contracts or agreements could not be negotiated. but exceptions have been 
allowed to this rule in relation to simple contracts, and others have been 
introduced by legislative acts. so that, now, bills of exchange, promissory 
notes, bills of lading, bank notes, payable to order, or to bearer, and, in 
some states, bonds and other specialties, may be transferred by assignment, 
indorsement, or by delivery, when the instrument is payable to bearer. 
     3. when a claim is assigned which is not negotiable at law, such, for 
example, as a book debt, the title to it remains at law in the assigner, but 
the assignee is entitled to it in equity, and he may therefore recover it in 
the assignor's name. see, generally, hare  wall. sel. dec. 158 to 194
