Early on Sunday morning last Mrs Kitto, wife of Mr Kitto, of Dumbarton Rock, cut her throat with a dinner knife. The windpipe was partly cut, but the main artery was not severed. The woman has had occasional fits of insanity, and no doubt was suffering from the effects of one at the time of the rash act. Her husband has been from home for some few weeks it appears, and is expected to return in a few days. She is expected to recover.
