Every Maclean

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Every Maclean was a 19th-century New Zealand politician.

Maclean was elected to Auckland Provincial Council for the Franklin electorate in November 1865 and served until September 1872.[1] He was the 6th Deputy-Superintendent of Auckland Province (July to August 1868, and July 1869 to June 1870).[2]

He was a member of the New Zealand Legislative Council; he was appointed on 11 July 1873, and his membership lapsed on 15 June 1876 due to absence.[3]

Together with his brother Robert, Maclean farmed in Auckland. In 1868[4] or 1869[5] (sources differ), they were the first to import Hereford cattle into New Zealand. The first Hereford sire was called Lord Lovell.[6]
