A slab and [[bark watchhouse built]] in 1849 was used as the Court House from 1851. A large sandstone Court House was built in 1860-62 by Kennard & Snow. [[Ben Hall]] was tried here in in May 1862 for “Robbery Under Arms”. The present Neo-classical building was designed from locally quarried sandstone at a cost of nearly £7000 by Colonial Architect [[James Barnet]] in 1883.
