He was born in County Wexford, Ireland, to an old established family, the son of Henry Hatchell of Wexford. He was educated at the University of Dublin where he took his degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1807 and Master of Arts in 1810. He lived at Fortfield House, Terenure, Co. Dublin, and Kingsland, Co.

He was called to the Irish Bar in 1809 and became King's Counsel in 1833. He was appointed Solicitor-General for Ireland in 1847, and Attorney-General for Ireland in 1850, resigning in 1852. He was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Windsor in 1850. He was a Commissioner of the Insolvent Debtors Court and a Commissioner for National Education.
As a politician he was praised for his "zealous advocacy of civil and religious liberty" and his commitment to entrenchment and economy in every department of state.
He married Elizabeth Waddy of Clougheast Castle, County Wicklow. His son, also John Hatchell, was MP for County Wexford.
