The statement that exemplifies situational irony in "The Piece of String" is:
The more passionately Hauchecorne repeats the truth, the more others believe him to be lying.
This is ironic because one would normally expect that stating the truth should lead to being believed, but in this case, Hauchecorne's strong insistence on his innocence only serves to increase suspicion and doubt among others.
