Assault on servant

On 15 October 1861, bushrangers John Johnson and Thomas Sanders were tried at the Melbourne Supreme Court for the rape of Mary Egan. The offence occurred during a raid upon a farm-house at Keilor Plains where Egan was a servant. Having been found guilty and sentenced to death for the rape, a nolle prosequi was entered in regards to the additional charge of robbery pending against Johnson and Sanders.
