Judgment that the action be dismissed, without prejudice to a new action, may be entered, with costs, in the following cases:
- (1) When the plaintiff voluntarily dismisses the action before it is finally submitted.
- (2) When he or she fails to appear at the time specified in the notice, upon continuance, or within one hour thereafter.
- (3) When it is objected at the trial, and appears by the evidence that the action is brought in the wrong precinct; but if the objection be taken and overruled, it shall be cause only of reversal or appeal; if not taken at the trial it shall be deemed waived, and shall not be cause of reversal.
