Life and career Although born in Newport , Monmouthshire , Batchelor became a prominent Cardiff figure , having moved there in his early twenties . He set up business as a timber merchant and , later , slate merchant and also played a key role in establishing the Mount Stuart Dry Dock . He was an active Liberal politician and served as a Liberal Councillor and , later , Mayor of Cardiff , in addition to being Chairman of the Cardiff School Board . He also campaigned against slavery . Conflict with the Butes However , John Batchelor 's political activity brought him into conflict with the Bute family ( John Crichton-Stuart , 3rd Marquess of Bute ) , who had significant land-holdings in Cardiff , including Cardiff Castle , and had built much of the docks . The Butes supported the Tory party and many believed that their conspiring led to the collapse of Batchelor 's shipbuilding business . Death and legacy John Batchelor died in 1883 and was buried at Cathays Cemetery , alongside his son Tom Eustace , who had died in infancy . Statue Main article : Statue of John Batchelor A subscription fund was established to erect a statue in his memory . This was followed by a petition of 12,000 signatures , started by his opponents , campaigning against the statue . The statue , created by the sculptor James Milo Griffith , was finally unveiled on 16 October 1886 and stands in The Hayes , Cardiff . Its plinth is inscribed “ JOHN BATCHELOR B.1820 D.1883 THE FRIEND of FREEDOM ” . A Conservative solicitor , T. H. Ensor , wrote a scathing piece in the Western Mail , suggesting the words " Friend of Freedom " be replaced with " traitor to the Crown... hater of the clergy... sincerely mourned by unpaid creditors " . He was sued unsuccessfully for libel . The case set a legal precedent in British law that the dead could not be libelled . |
