Sessions The Legislature met at the Old City Hall in Albany on January 28, 1806; and adjourned on April 7. Clintonian Alexander Sheldon was re-elected Speaker. On March 15, 1806, DeWitt Clinton offered a resolution in the Senate for the expulsion of Ebenezer Purdy for the reason that he had been bribed and that he had attempted to bribe Stephen Thorn and Obadiah German during the controversial chartering of the Merchant's Bank of New York during the previous session. Purdy resigned his seat on the next day, before the Senate could take a vote on the issue.
