# CENSORSHIP OF CINEMATOGRAPH FILMS

38. During the year, The British Film Distribution Company, whose studio had been used for the censorship of films, went into liquidation. An agreement was made with a newly formed syndicate, who equipped and opened a censorship studio on the 5th floor of Kayamally Building. The studio has proved very suitable, and the work of censorship has been carried out very satisfactorily to all parties. During the year the total number of reels and trailers censored was 5,927.

# THE NEW TERRITORY

39. The frontier on the British side remained fairly quiet throughout the year and only one armed encounter between police and robbers in the immediate vicinity of the border at Sha Tau Kok was reported (vide Special Events—“Frontier Incident”).

40. However on the 28th January, a large gang of robbers from Chinese Territory landed on the coast of Deep Bay in the Ping Shan District and carried out a robbery and kidnapping at Ha Tsun.

41. On the 30th November, an armed gang who had crossed the frontier between Ta Ku Ling and Lin Ma Hang, fired about twenty rounds at Sheung Shui Police Station (vide Special Events—“Attack on Sheung Shui Police Station”).

42. In practically all the remaining cases of serious crime in the New Territory the criminals were natives of Chinese Territory.

43. Smuggling from British Territory to Chinese Territory (chiefly sugar) continued.

44. Friendly relations have been maintained with the Chinese Authorities who have co-operated with and offered every assistance to the Hong Kong Police.

45. A large wireless station near the quarters of the Chinese Customs Officers at Shum Chun was erected during the year. This station is directly under the control of the Chinese Maritime Customs.
