    The first Court of Petty Sessions was built for the Colonial Government in Heidelberg in 1859. This building, erected by Mr Cormack, was a timber building which cost £449. It was situated near the police buildings which were built in the same year. When the present building was erected the old court house was reputably shifted to be included in the new design and may be the gabled wing attached to the south of the Old Shire Offices.
