In 1898 he was the victim of what appears to be an ill conceived prank by his fellow medical students. Thomas did not see the funny side, and I don't blame him, and took action against the perpetrators on the grounds of assault. Reports can be found in the Glasgow newspapers. But as Dave says you have probably already discovered this.

I have indeed. So thank you for only partially stealing my thunder... .
