This is not a mere affair of words : from to these nominal distinctions correspond some very important ones in point of practise. The use to be made of them is to put enable a man in the way of to taking separate cognisance of them, observing the several objects ends or purposes to which the acts productive of these several consequences may be directed, and so taking care that no more pain or evil shall be produced than what is necessary to the attainment of one or other of such ends or purposes. Such or such a lot of evil, is it necessary for the purpose of ordinary punishment? no. Is it thus necessary for self-preservation on the part of an individual? on the part of the community? on the part of the governing body? For safe- Is it a case that calls for the self-preservation, for self-discipline? for a personal obligation? for a ? for exacting compensation? for physical restraint? for physical compulsion? If none of all these, then the production of the evil is not justifiable. The synopsis of these objects ought to comprehend all these occasions on which evil is either intentionally or knowingly produced.
