From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) [bouvier]:

  KNOWINGLY, pleadings. The word knowingly," or "well knowing," will supply 
  the place of a positive averment in an indictment or declaration, that the 
  defendant knew the facts subsequently stated; if notice or knowledge be 
  unnecessarily stated, the allegation may be rejected as surplusage. Vide 
  Com. Dig. Indictment, G 6; 2 Stra. 904; 2 East, 452; 1 Chit. Pl. *367; Vide
