1240 ADMINISTRATION AND LEGISLATION [PART V The Secretary of State approved the Bill in a dispatch of February 20, 1890. Ie pointed out that in this case, as distinct from the New South Wales case, the Bill was passed after a general election at which the Bill had been brought prominently before some of the constituencies, and that its general acceptance throughout Australia was shown by similar Bills brought into the Parliaments of New South Wales and South Australia, and by the action of all the Australian Agents-General, who had called upon him and made represen- tations to him of the will of the people of Australia. The third condition mentioned in the New South Wales dispatch was fulfilled by the adoption of the principle of domicile, and he laid stress on the fact that he understood from the Agents- General that the addition of the words ‘for two years or ipwards’, was not intended to limit the effect of the word domicile, but merely to require the further condition that the lomicile was bona fide domicile. The New South Wales Parliament accordingly re-enacted the Bill of 1887 with amendments, and it became law as No. 37 of 1892, and since then the Colonies of Australia have freely legislated on the subject of divorce on the principles laid down, viz. the adoption of divorce as resting on domicile, with, how- aver, the exception of the deserted wife,! and giving divorce for such causes as they deem desirable without reference to the backward condition of English law on the topic. But Queensland, South and Western Australia. and Tasmania still follow the English law. It is, however, somewhat doubtful if the harmony of legislation is any longer maintained. The New South Wales Act No. 14 of 1899 presents a curious series of alternative possibilities ; any husband may petition under s.12 in the * This principle also applies in Natal under Law No. 18 of 1891 ; see Thomas v. Thomas, 23 N. L. R. 38 ; Wright v. Wright, 27 N. L. R. 651; Sandberg v. Sandberg, 27 N., L. R. 684. Otherwise the Natal rule is strict ; see Steer v. Steer, 16 N. L. R. 237 ; Friedman v. Friedman, 23 N. L. R. 25 ; Lea v. Lea, ibid., 91; Htheridge v. Etheridge, ibid., 180; Laughlen v. Laughlen, 26 N. L. R. 230. Contra, Thurgood v. Thurgood, 17 N. L. R. 49, and of. Mason v. Mason, 4 E. D. C. 330, where a vagabundus is declared znable to change his wife's domicile.
