Acts 19:38-41

So if Demetrius and the men of his trade have a case against someone, the courts are open. They can appear before the judge and press charges. But if you’re looking for anything further to bring up, it must be argued before the court and settled there, not here. Don’t you realize we’re putting our city in danger of being accused of a riot by the Roman authorities? There’s no good explanation we can give them for all this commotion!” After he had said this, he dispersed the crowds and sent them away.
