Unless they are stated to be made upon the\ninformation and belief of the party, they must be regarded for all\npurposes, including a criminal prosecution, as having been made upon the\nknowledge of the person verifying the pleading. An allegation that the\nparty has not sufficient knowledge or information to form a belief with\nrespect to a matter, must, for the same purposes, be regarded as an\nallegation that the person verifying the pleading has not such knowledge\nor information.\n
