3. The deed. In a final effort to come within a twenty-year statute of limitations, the plaintiffs argue that they were induced by fraud to accept a deed, a sealed instrument. The deed delivered, however, was a short form quitclaim deed. See G. L. c. 183, §§ 8 & 11. Such a deed covenants no more than that the grantor conveys the premises free from encumbrances made by him.
