ETHICS IN ACTION AT THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE BRIDGE CLUB

Bigot-Johnson , the club chairman , was trying to explain to a new committee member about the ethical dilemmas he and other officers often faced on a day-to-day basis ,  and decided the best way to illustrate his definition of ethics was to get him to consider the following question:
 " A little old lady comes into the treasurer’s office, and being the only committee member present she hands over a £50 note in payment for her annual subscription. After she leaves, you realize you actually received two £50 notes stuck together. The time has come now for you to make an an ethical decision : do you inform the treasurer or not about this over-payment ? "
