I know there's been previous mention of Grainger escaping a conviction either in 1887 or 1889
I haven't found any news articles detailing the alleged crime.
NEW COURT. Friday, April 12th, 1889.
Before Mr. Justice Grantham.
380. WILLIAM GRANT (38) , Rape on Janet McCorquodale.
MR. LAWRENCE, Q. C., and MR. GILL, JUN., Prosecuted; and MR. BESLEY Defended.
NOT GUILTY .
