Education and career

Born on December 19, 1854, in Glenluce, Scotland, McClelland received a Bachelor of Laws from New York University School of Law in 1880. He was admitted to the bar the same year, and practiced law in Dobbs Ferry, New York. He was a member of the New York State Assembly (Westchester Co, 1st D.) in 1885 and 1886. He was deputy Collector of the Port of New York from December 1886 to March 1890. He was again a member of the State Assembly in 1891. He was a member of the New York State Senate (12th D.) in 1892, 1893 and 1903.[1]

Federal judicial service

McClelland received a recess appointment from President Theodore Roosevelt on August 21, 1903, to a seat on the Board of General Appraisers vacated by Member James A. Jewell. He was nominated to the same position by President Roosevelt on November 10, 1903. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on December 7, 1903, and received his commission on December 8, 1903. McClelland was reassigned by operation of law to the United States Customs Court on May 28, 1926, to a new Associate Justice (Judge from June 17, 1930) seat authorized by 44 Stat. 669. He served as Presiding Judge from 1934 to 1939. His service terminated on September 30, 1939, due to his retirement. He was succeeded by Judge Webster Oliver.[1]

Death

McClelland died on June 6, 1944, in Dobbs Ferry.[1]

gollark: I mean, sure, but to continue making somewhat unrelated meta-level claims, almost regardless of how much that's actually happening there'll still be a few people complaining about it.

gollark: The important thing is probably... quantitative data about the amounts and change of each?

gollark: Regardless of what's actually happening with news, you can probably dredge up a decent amount of examples of people complaining about being too censored *and* the other way round.

gollark: With the butterfly-weather-control example that's derived from, you can't actually track every butterfly and simulate the air movements resulting from this (yet, with current technology and algorithms), but you can just assume some amount of random noise (from that and other sources) which make predictions about the weather unreliable over large time intervals.

gollark: That seems nitpicky, the small stuff is still *mostly* irrelevant because you can lump it together or treat it as noise.
