I believe the answer is:

cut short

This clue is a double definition.

'curtail' is the first definition.

'truncate' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for cut short that I've seen before include "Interrupt" , "Stopped talking" , "instruction to army barber" , "Abbreviate" , "ended prematurely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
