 * ... that Mr Justice Orr granted George Blake's wife a decree nisi for divorce on the grounds that a conviction for treason can amount to cruelty? Source: Roger Hermiston, The Greatest Traitor: The Secret Lives of Agent George Blake (Aurum Press, 2013), p. 237: "On 18 March news arrived, through the columns of The Times, that the divorce had finally been granted in his absence. The newspaper reported that Gillian had been granted a decree nisi because of Blake's 'cruelty'. Mr Justice Orr had made his judgement guided by a case heard in 1956 in which it had been ruled that 'conviction of a spouse for treasonable conduct may amount to cruelty or constructive desertion'".
