further proceedings, it shall be docketed and proceeded in to final judgment or decree in the
same manner and with the same effect as if it had originally been instituted in the circuit
court; the papers shall be retained in the office of the clerk of the circuit court; execution or
other final process may issue therefrom; and the clerk of the circuit court sheall certify to the
clerk of the court of limited jurisdiction the fact that the case is so retained, which
certification shall be entered of record in the court of limited jurisdictiorn. When the
judgment, decree or order is affirmed in the circuit court, or when it is reversed, in whole or
in part, and the circuit court, without a new trial or hearing on further proceedings, enters
such judgment, order or decree as the court of limited jurisdiction should have entered, the
clerk of the circuit court shall, as soon as practicable, certifyt the decision of the circuit court
and transmit all the papers of the cause to the clerk of the court of limited jurisdiction, and
the court of limited jurisdiction shall enter the decision of the circuit court as its own, and
execution or other final process may issue accordingly. If such decision be received by the
clerk of the court of limited jurisdiction in vacation, he shall enter it of record in his order
book, and thereupon such execution or other final process may issue and such proceedings
be had in the case as would have been proper if the decision had been entered in court.

practicable, certify the decision of the circuit court and transmit all the papers of the cause
