1 Let us now consider what the sanctions are which
have application to the case where the welfare of individuals other
than the agents is affected by the action: where the action
is of such a nature that the welfare of the individuals
other than the agent is in one way or other
effected by it.

Take for example a case of corporal injury where
the effect of the action is to produce immediate pain in another individual
by application made to some part or other of
the his bodily frame: say for example by a blow with the
fist or a cut with a sharp instrument.
Now In the first place what in this case the agent
has commonly to apprehend, whether it be in defence
i e in the hope of warding it off if there be time or
in the way of retribution i e for revenge or in both
is the receiving at the hands of the patient the same
or some other personal injury.

The restraint or check produced by this fear
is the restraint or check which it is the nature of
the physical sanction to apply in this case: the physical
sanction is the sanction by the force of which
whatever restraint or check is by this fear applied to the
mischievous action is applied —

2. Political including the legal sanction. Special cases
of justification excepted the list of which is capable of
being made out on the ground of the principle of utility
and with more or less conformity to that principle
is actually made out in the legal system of every political
State the force of the political including the legal sanction
can not fail to apply itself to this case, and
with more or less efficiency operate towards the
prevention of mischief in this shape.
