In 1891 Joshua Ives, Professor of Music at Adelaide University brought a libel case against Evans and Chandler after a February story in Quiz about a person who offered to sell a parcel of shares at a certain price then reneged the following day when their value had increased.
In June 1891 Evans and Chandler unreservedly withdrew the paragraph complained of, expressed regret that it should ever have been inserted, and agreed to pay the Professor's costs fixed at £50.
