Misleading Cases

Albert Haddock is back in court, arguing that it was perfectly legitimate to pay his taxes by floating a cheque in a bottle down the Thames, since the Thames has a long tradition of being a normal channel for commercial activity.

Haddock reads the Weekly Argus and thinks astrologist Sagittarius is plausible. He later learns his wife lost £100 on the stock exchange listening to Sagittarius. Haddock, believing Sagittarius is false and deceptive, takes him to court.
