1Opinion of the Court
McMurray, Judge.
This is an action to recover approximately $10,000 paid to Ellis MacDougall ostensibly as a part of his salary as Director of the Board of Corrections during the fiscal year 1972-1973. This amount of money represented an increase in his salary granted the defendant by a resolution of the Georgia Board of Corrections. The state contended that his salary was established by law and that the board of corrections acted without legal authority when it promulgated the resolution granting the defendant’s salary increase and that the defendant is required to return the money received.
