7 Compensation
But in such a case the following consequences stand
in the other scale. Reasons for the negative
1. The Punishment though not designed for that designed only for compensation
purpose, would unavoidably (for such is the nature of
Punishment) have the effect of Prevention. By this
means a quantity of pleasure would be destroy'd excluded.
For the practices things acts in question are such as by supposition
the a man may have a mind to do; the
nobody would do them they are therefore such as produce
pleasure. And this pleasure is by the supposition
a clear one. For they are such as on not injurious mischievous
to any one.
2. The act in question is in the case supposed by
the act of only a single man. But when the Principle of
Utility is once departed from, and mere resentment antipathy without
any ostensible ground set up as warrant for
inflicting punishment, there are no bounds to the nature or
malhhide of the actions that may be reprobated
so that although the act in question not upon the occasion
in question it should not be so yet upon other occasions acts very
very important to happiness and there too, such as a great multitude of persons would have an inclination to perform be inclined to might be taken into the number.
Hence would result a vast and indefinite mass of mischief
consisting partly of the evil of the punishment,
partly of the evil of the restraint. If men in power
were to think themselves warranted at any time, in punishing
an act merely because they do not like them it, or merely
because the majority do not like it, without any other reason,
this in short [would be] is [what we mean] by tyranny neither more nor less than what we are all so much afraid of under the name of tyranny.: most commonly
the tyranny of one only or a few : at the best, the tyranny
of the many.
