Your JSON actually contain an object which have properties of your defined classes - given the code posted, you don't have a class to deserialize into.

The first thing you can do is obvious - create a third class - MessagePair - which declares two properties - NewMessage[] and OldMessage[]. Then you can deserialize the JSON string like this:

var theMessages = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MessagePair>(jsonText);

If you don't like to create separate class, you can then deserialize into anonymous object like this:

var theMessages = new { 
    NewMessage[] NewMessages = null, 
    OldMessage[] OldMessages = null 
};

theMessages = JsonConvert.DeserializeAnonymousType(jsonText, theMessages);
