But it is urged that a joint action cannot be maintained, because the husband has been discharged in bankruptcy, and that under the Revision, which was in force when the debt was contracted, none but a joint action can be maintained. If, however, the change made by the Code is designed merely to regulate the practice, and does not affect any substantial right, then the Revision would not control the form of action in that respect. We think that the wife became personally liable, and that, at the time the action was brought, she was subject to be sued separately. If so, an action can be maintained against her, notwithstanding her husband’s discharge.
