“There is au old game called ‘consequences,’ ” said Mr Stringer, at the Christchurch Supreme Court, in addressing the jury in a case of alleged libel at Yaldhurst. “The players sit around a table, and one man whispers something to another. The players whispering it, one to another, till it passes around the table, and when it gets to the last man, he announces it, and it is always found that it differs to a ridiculous degree to the original remark. The same is the case in many libel actions. One person makes a statement, and a small community bandies the remark about till it is distorted into something entirely different.” “You are mixed up in your game,” said His Honour. “The game you allude to is called the ‘Russian Candle.' ” “Probably,” said Mr Stringer. “Then this case should be called the ‘Yaldhurst Caudle.”
