    The first decree nisi for the dissolution of marriage in the Federal Capital Territory was made by Judge Lukin in the matrimonial jurisdiction of the Supreme Court yesterday.
    The case was one in which George Graham Jefferis, of the Printers' Quarters, Canberra, sued his wife, Winifred Rose Jefferis, for divorce on
    the grounds of desertion.
    Mr. Cyril W. Davies appeared for the petitioner and there was no appearance for the respondent.
    Jefferis, in evidence, stated that he had married the respondent, in Kent, England, in 1921, according to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church. In 1925, he immigrated to Australia on the understanding that when he found a permanent position his wife would join him. He commenced work at the Printers' Quarters in 1926 and immediately wrote to his wife, paid her passage money and forwarded a sum to cover the incidental expenses on the voyage. The respondent postponed sailing owing to a nervous breakdown and, in April, 1928, wrote indicating that she no longer desired to join her husband and wished to divorce him. This request was confirmed in subsequent correspondence.
    Judge Lukin granted a decree nisi, to be made absolute in four months. The reduction in time from six months was made owing to the unavoidable delay having the petition brought before the court."

    The Launceston Examiner also reported:- CANBERRA'S FIRST DIVORCE ENGLISH BRIDE'S LETTER: CANBERRA, Monday. History was made at Canberra today, when Judge Lukin granted to George Graham Jefferis the first divorce of the Federal Capital Territory. The decree will be made absolute in four months. Jefferis sought a divorce from his wife, Winifred Rose Jefferis, on the ground of desertion. He married her on August 15, 1921 in England and returned to Australia, the arrangement being that she should join him when he obtained a permanent position. Later she wrote him several letters, and finally declared that she could not face the long voyage. Stating in one letter that she had heard dreadful things, she added that if her husband let her down she would elope with an Australian bushranger.
