Mrs Logan, who attended the school between 1969 and 1971, identified Kenny as Mother Rosari and Reville as Mother Martin - both nuns at the school at the time.

She told prosecutor Douglas Hamilton that she was 'tortured' when she got into trouble.

Mrs Logan told the trial that on one occasion, she was tied to a pole for two days in a broom cupboard after pulling a nun's habit off.

The fiscal asked: 'In what way were you tied to a pole?'

She replied: Both arms around the pole with wire.'

Mr Hamilton asked what happened during her time in the cupboard.

Mrs Logan told him: 'I was in there for two days. I was hit with something like a carpet beater.'

She also said another nun Mother James sat on her chest while Mother Rosari bound her wrists to the pole.

The court was told that Mother Rosari hit her with the implement which was like a carpet beater causing her spleen to be ruptured.

Mrs Logan claimed two girls ran for help and got the police.

When she spoke to officers later, she said her arms were bandaged-up. Police were allegedly told by nuns at the school that Mrs Logan had been self harming.

Mrs Logan claimed she did not remember a lot from when she came out of the cupboard because she was 'drugged'.

She claimed Mother Rosari drugged her on more than one occasion, but couldn't remember who it was that time.

Mrs Logan finally alleged that Mother Rosari smacked on the face with a riding crop.

She told the jury that Mother Martin 'wasn't an evil person' and did not abuse her as much.

However, the witness did claim that the nun abused other girls more.

Kenny, of Manchester, and Reville, of Newcastle, deny the charges.

The trial, before Sheriff Susan Sinclair, continues.
