(1)If the holder of a bill payable to bearer negotiates such bill by delivery without indorsing it, he is called a transferor by delivery.

 

(2)A transferor by delivery is not liable on the instrument in question.

 

(3)A transferor by delivery who negotiates a bill thereby warrants to his immediate transferee, if the latter is a holder for value, that the bill is what it purports to be, that he has a right to transfer it, and that, at the time of transfer, he is not aware of any fact which renders it valueless.
