- NEWS OF THE WEEK.

THOSE responsible for the conduct of the Irish Theological Quarterly have evidently thought better of their recent deplorable transgression. We hasten to record this fact with satisfaction, a satisfaction, however, which in many respects, as we shall proceed to explain, must be gravely qualified. We have to thank a correspondent for informing us that the editors of the Irish Theological Quarterly (produced at Maynooth) have in their January number repudiated the recent article by Professor O'Rahilly which we felt it our duty to denounce in exceedingly strong terms. It will be remembered that in that article Mr. O'Rahilly, in dealing with the ethics of resisting an alleged tyranny, presented an argument which amounted to " Killing No Murder."
