It is interesting to note that the inherent power of the Court to impose fines for civil contempt does not permit the court to compel the contemnor to forfeit his or her property. "In any case, the contempt power does not comprehend the power to deprive one of his property and convey it to another." Britt v.Britt, 119 R.I. 191, 708, 383 A.2d 592 (1978).
