To Kill A Mockingbird chapter 23,

What explanation does Atticus give to Jem for not taking action (legal or otherwise) against Bob Ewell?

I can't figure out where this happens, I've reread the chapter multiple times and still can't figure it out. Please Help!

Scroll down and read about the chapters before and after the one given. Let us know what you find.
I still don't get where Atticus even talks to Jem about the whole situation about not taking any action towards Bob.
Nevermind I found it on page 292 of the book.
Very GOOD!!
