Joseph Feltham and George Smith were tried for housebreaking at Dorchester Assizes on the 13th March 1850. At that time the courthouse was at the Old Shire Hall. This location was also the site of the court trial for the 'Tolpuddle Martyrs' in 1834. The actual courtroom used for my trial and also earlier for the 'Tolpuddle Martyrs' is shown below. The judge for our trial in 1850 was Thomas Noon Talfourd.
