An indorsement on a bill of exchange or note is called restrictive when it limits the negotiability of the instrument to a particular person or for a particular purpose; as "pay to J S only," or "pay J S for my use." It is distinguishable from a blank indorsement, which consists merely of the signature of the indorser; from a full indorsement, which makes the bill or note payable to a given person or his order; and from a qualified indorsement, which qualifies the liability of the indorser.
