To convey over; to make over, assign, convey, transfer. Nemo plus juris ad alium transferre potest quam ipse hatoet. No one more right to another can transfer than he himself possesses. One cannot sell, grant, or give away a right or interest superior to that vested in him.s Compare Daee, Nemo dat, etc. But the holder of negotiable paper who cannot himself recover upon it as against the rightful owner, by transferring it in good faith, for value, and before it is due, may make it available in the hands of his assignee. And a consignor, by indorsing and delivering the bill of lading to the consignee, puts it in the power of the latter to transfer property to a bona fide purchaser for value, and thus defeat his own original right of stoppage in transitu. See Lading, Bill of; Negotiate, 2. TaAWSGRESSIOIf. See Crime; Trespass.
