Supposing always that the good in question cannot be
produced, at any cheaper rate, the following are the justifying
causes by which the production of evil in any shape
and therefore in this shape may be justified -
1. Production of preponderant good to the evil speaker
himself
2. Production of preponderant good to to the person who
is spoken to on spoken of and to whom evil is thus done
3. Preponderant good to any if other person or persons at
large
4. Preponderant good to the public at large.

To the head of preponderant good done for to the public at
large belongs the case where in the production of the uneasiness
the author of it acts on the character of a member of the
tribunal of public opinion, applying the force making application ie. the popular or
moral sanction.

Note here the But a distinction must be drawn between the case where there is
nobody present but the person in whom the uneasiness is caused, and the case where there are of another or others present.
Abstraction made of any particular relation borne by them
be either of the parties, the uneasiness produced will be the greater, the greater the number of the persons so present.

Always keeping therefore in view the
minimization of suffering the if the discount which
benevolence demands will answer the ends of
benevolence by being addressed to the individual
or the absence of all other persons – it should only
be addressed to him in their absence. If the presence
of others be necessary for its intended effect – let
the number present be as few as are needful
for producing that effect.
