Sense 1: "A measure by the ell." Bit baffled by what this definition means and all the uses I could find refer to sense 2, a cloth inspector. Samuel Johnson's dictionary does define it as a "measurer by the ell", but he's also talking about the cloth inspector, who measured cloths to make sure they were the right dimensions.

This came from an old dictionary (Webster or Imperial); I found it in Google Books and it says "a measurer by the ell", so this is a typo I made apparently. Equinox ◑ 18:56, 20 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
