If during the progress of an Admiralty cause in a local court it appears to the court that the subject matter exceeds the limit in respect of amount of the Admiralty jurisdiction of the court, the validity of any order or decree theretofore made by the court shall not be thereby affected, but (unless the parties agree by a memorandum signed by them or their attorneys or agents that the court shall retain jurisdiction) the court shall, by order, transfer the cause to the Court of Admiralty, which Court may nevertheless order that the cause shall be prosecuted in the local court in which it was commenced, and it shall be thereupon remitted to such local court and proceeded with therein.
