I need to find a court case involving negotiable instruments.

Answer

First, define "negotiable instrument" in more concrete terms because it can be several specific things.

Negotiable Instrument 

A Commercial Papersuch as a check or promissory note, that contains the signature of the maker or drawer; an unconditional promise or order to pay a certain sum in cash that is payable either upon demand or at a specifically designated time to the order of a designated person or to its bearer.
