LV. In any Action brought by Husband and Wife for any Cause of Action accruing in respect of the Wife and in respect of which she is necessarily joined as Co-Plaintiff, it shall be lawful for the Husband to add thereto Claims in his own Right, and separate Actions brought in respect of such Claims, if in the same Court, may be consolidated, if the Court or a Judge shall think fit; provided that in the Case of the Death of either Plaintiff such Suit, so far only as relates to the Causes of Action, if any, which do not survive, shall abate.
