Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5This is taken from https://thegubugazzette.wordpress.com/2015/09/02/histor...king/ which is a good account of what happened.
In the YouTube sequence the 'judge' did not wear a robe or wig to signify that she was a judge. Are we supposed to view this takeover of an empty court seriously? The Gardai obviously didn't and engineered a bogus fire alarm.
"In courtroom 1, Judge Kevin Kilraine was asked to issue a warrant for the arrest of two individuals who should have been present – namely, County Registrar, Fintan Murphy, and Garda Sergeant Peter Hanley.
Judge Kilraine refused, and tellingly, he would not give an explanation.
He would not, or could not, answer as to why these two persons did not attend the court.
However, if you or I had been subpoenaed, as these two individuals were, we are under an obligation to attend. Indeed, we actually have no choice – we have to. If we don’t, the sitting judge would issue an order for our arrest.
But, in this case, this did not happen.
Absolutely. Which makes this a very strange story. I can't imagine that a judge would issue a subpoena, the subpoena having been served, and then ignore when the persons did not show up in his or her court. So OK, please fill in the details for us.
a) who was the judge who issued the subpoensa? sitting in what court? I would think it VERY unusual for a judge to issue a subpoena for a case in a different court.
b) subpoenas duly served?
Private prosecutions are VERY difficult. Without ANY cooperating judges/magistrates, I would say impossible. A subpoena is a perfect example. You need somebody to issue it (service can be private; usually is in many civil cases --- it's what "process servers" do)

No wig or Robe is required to hear evidence and make a ruling based on that evidence.
The very fact that you seem to think the addition of a stupid Horse-Hair Wig and some bit of black cloth worn as a "Robe" are somehow required to in order weigh evidence shows just how deeply you have fallen for their little "legal" [NB: not "Lawful"] charade.
The fact that the Gardai decided to engineer a false fire alarm - by their own rules an obvious act of crime in itself - is evidence enough that there is a charade taking place.
A shell-and-pea game
The painting below accurately displays a performer doing the cups and balls routine, which has been practiced since Egyptian times. The shell game does have some origins in this old trick.
The real trick of this painting is the pickpocket who is working for the conjurer. The pickpocket is robbing the spectator who is bent over.
"The Conjurer," painted by Hieronymus Bosch.
The People's Judge action follows in the tradition of Thomas Davis. "Educate that you may be free" was the motto of his newspaper "The nation".
