R.I. Gen. Laws § 8-2-32: Retention of papers or return to original county.

If an entire cause shall have been removed under the provisions of this chapter, all further proceedings in the cause shall be taken as if the cause had been commenced in the county to which it was removed. If less than the entire cause shall have been removed, then upon determination of the question for which removal was made, the record shall be remitted to the clerk of the court for the county from which the cause was removed.
