2 ROGER NOWELLJohn Law was ill because Alizon cursed him, and his son wanted Roger Nowell to question Alizon.Roger Nowell was a rich and important man in Lancashire, and he was the judge for all the villages near Pendle Hill. He lived at Read Hall, seven miles from Newchurch.On the thirtieth day of March, Mr Nowell's men came to Malkin Tower. Mr Nowell wanted to see Alizon at once.We walked from Malkin Tower to Read Hall: my sister Alizon, my brother James, and our mother, Elizabeth Device.I followed them because I didn' t want to stay at home with my grandmother. My grandmother was a difficult old woman, and I didn' t like her.Read Hall was an old house with a big garden and many old trees. Mr Nowell's servant opened the door for us.
